David Fairhall and Penny Bowles cover the world of ships, boats, and the sea.

When the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off Land's End, she took with her the chance of over £500,000 in salvage money and the life of a Dutch salvage expert. The two Rotterdam tug firms racing each other to tow the tanker off the Seven Stones reef have cornered eight per cent of the world's deep-sea salvage business. What kind of men crew these tugs? What risks and rewards lie behind the Lloyd's salvage tradition of 'no cure, no pay'? Waterline boards the biggest salvage tug in Europe, the Zwarte Zee, to find out.
