"The Wreck of the Mary Deare" is a novel by British author Hammond Innes, published in 1956. The story follows the character John Sands, who is the first mate on the Mary Deare, a freighter ship that appears to have been abandoned off the coast of England. Sands is picked up by salvage tugboat captain Patch and together they try to determine what happened to the ship and its crew.

As they explore the Mary Deare, Sands and Patch uncover a web of intrigue involving blackmail, smuggling, and murder. The two men soon find themselves in a dangerous race against time to prevent the true nature of the Mary Deare's cargo from falling into the wrong hands.

The novel was well-received upon its release, with critics praising Innes' skillful storytelling and attention to detail. Innes himself was a former sailor and his own experiences at sea helped inform the realism and authenticity of the book's nautical setting.

"The Wreck of the Mary Deare" was also adapted into a film in 1959, starring Gary Cooper as John Sands and Charlton Heston as Patch. While the film deviates from the novel in some areas, it remains a popular adaptation of Innes' story.
