Deep Sea "Sparks', gives an account of the life of the wireless operator, an honoured position at sea since the days of Marconi. Modern communications technology is accelerating the demise of this twentieth century calling which like the sailing ship, and its successor the steamer, are all slowly following the fate of the dinosaurs. Today enthusiasts like Olive Carroll now proudly carrying the label "amateur" before their former professional ranking of ship wireless or radio operators, and so long as we have proficient amateur operators the appeal of radio, the morse key, and the ability to freely talk to friends will remain alive. Few such books which convey a description of the duties of the wireless operator with an account of ship's business, life aboard a modern cargo liner and a story of travel, have ever been written by someone within the profession. The author tells her story with light humour, emotion and an insight into the life of the seafarer, away from home and family for lon gperiods of time. Born in Toronto, Ontario, the author received all her schooling in Vancouver, B.C., where her family moved when she was two. Possibly growing up in a seaport city kindled her love of the sea and ships; certainly from earliest memory she had always nurtured a desire to travel the world, to see what lay beyond the horizon Her chosen career as wireless operator opened the door to opportunities only dreamed of, and hitherto experienced by very few women - to sail as ship's Sparks. The four years the author served at sea were special in a way perhaps only to be understood by those who have sailed the oceans of the world. She has endeavoured to share these special experiences and memories in this book.
