| Summary | "Tom Swift and His Submarine Boat; Or, Under the Ocean for Sunken Treasure" by Victor Appleton is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century.

The narrative introduces various characters, including their friend Mr. Sharp and a rival named Addison Berg, hinting at competition and intrigue as they navigate challenges both mechanical and personal.

Upon discovering news of a treasure ship that sank off the coast of Uruguay, Tom proposes they recover the lost gold.
