It look skill and HO secondhand inner tubes to raise
the Emerald but Wibbertey prevailed.
By PEER J. OPPENHEIMER
10 Family Weekly. Dpctmbtr 15. 1963
The 55-foot yawl Emerald was returning
from the open sea to California's Redondo
Beach marina. But as the boat approached the
shore, her owner, Frank Wynn, suddenly re
alized she was headed directly toward the
breakwater !
Hurriedly, he took down the sails and started the en
gine. It sputtered, then quit. Foundering helplessly in the
swell, the Emerald crashed into the rocks and sank in
less than four minutes.
One of the first to hear about the accident that Sunday
afternoon last summer was Leonard Wibberley. He's an
Irish-born ex-reporter, violinist, construction worker,
ditch digger, dishwasher, pin setter, and jack of many
other trades until he made a name for himself as author
of the successful novels, The Mouse That Roared and The
Mouse on the Moon (both of which were made into
popular movies).
Wibberley, a sailing enthusiast since childhood, was re
pairing his own 30-foot boat a few miles away when the
accident occurred. He promptly jumped into his car and
raced to the scene. The four persons aboard had been
saved, but all that was visible of the Emerald were her
masts sticking out of the water.
The following day, Wibberley learned that the insurance
company wanted to sell the boat as quickly as possible be
cause the wreck was a hazard to navigation. "I offered $500
for her. She had new dacron sails and stainless-steel rig
gings which alone were worth that much," Wibberley told
me later. But he got a lot more out of the deal than that
thanks to his ingenuity and the help of three friends, Don
Siberts and Bob and Bill Meistrell, who run a diving out
fit nearby.
The four of them made a dive to check the sailboat's
condition. "It was pathetic to see the Emerald struggle,
trying not to die," Wibberley recalled. "As the water swept
around her, it looked as if she were trying to sail. We
just couldn't break her up when she seemed so determined
to go on living."
But how could they raise her? The usual sling-and-hook
method wouldn't work ; the boat would fall apart
on the way up. "We thought of stringing 100 pounds of
ping-pong balls on nets under her decks and bringing her
to the top that way," Wibberley explained. "But that would
have taken an awful lot of swimming. It was Bill Meistrell
who thought of using automobile inner tubes to raise the
boat. Of course, we weren't sure it would work, but it was
certainly worth a gamble."
There was a great scurry to buy secondhand inner tubes
until they had amassed 200 of them. Then Wibberley and
his friends dived with the tubes, girdled the anchor chain
around her bow, tied the inner tubes to the chain, and in
flated the tubes with an aqualung. "The 140th inner tube
finally brought her to the surface," Wibberley said proudly.
The Emerald had been submerged four days, and she
looked bad. The bow, stern, decks, and keel were sound,
but there was a hole in one side so large that Wibberley
swam through it on a mattress. There was also a smaller
hole on the other side. The men patched up both of them
with plywood, then pumped out the water.
The Emerald was towed 15 miles to a San Pedro boat
yard where she was replanked and had new ribs and a new
diesel engine installed. The total cost: ?4,000 for a boat
that had been insured for $50,000!
