Ernest Cox
Ernest Frank Guelph Cox (1883–1959) was an electrical and mechanical engineer and marine salvage expert from Wolverhampton. Between 1924 and 1931 his Cox & Danks Shipbreaking Co. successfully raised 35 ships of the German fleet that had been scuttled at Gutter Sound, Scapa Flow, in 1919. He eventually sold the business to the Alloa Shipbreaking Company. The books in the Bibliography and Further reading list give good accounts of Cox's many feats. ==Early life==
Born in 1883, the eleventh son of a Wolverhampton draper, Cox left school at thirteen but chose to study electrical engineering in his spare time, and through a succession of jobs, earned himself the post of Engineer at a Wolverhampton power station by the age of eighteen. Deciding that anyone who could put electricity into peoples homes would become rich, Cox was determined to be just that, and moved to the post of Assistant Engineer at Leamington, and from there to Ryde Corporation on the Isle of Wight. In doing so he learned the art of salesmanship, selling electrical power installation to the inhabitants of Ryde.
