Salvage is a 1936 Australian radio play by Edmund Barclay about the rescue of a submarine.[1] It was called "one of the most ambitious attempts at dramatic realism ever attempted by the Sydney production department of tire Broadcasting Commission."
The play was made with the assistance of the Royal Australian Navy, the first time this had been given for an Australian radio drama. It was arranged through the relevant Minister, Sir Archdale Parkhill, with the assistance of H.M.A.S. Penguin. The production was noted for its use of sound effects. It also told the story of the Royal Australian Navy which was relatively rare at the time.[2]
A sub is sunk in wartime and naval divers have to come to the rescue, led by Able Seaman Grant and Able Seaman Hayes.
