Tom Swift & His Submarine Boat (1910)

Plot summary
Tom Swift"s father has been working diligently on a secret project, which he reveals at the beginning of the book as a submarine. With the submarine, named the Advance, he planned to enter it in a contest for a government prize of $50,000. While in New Jersey to launch the submarine, Tom notes in a news paper that a ship named the Boldero sank off the coast of Uruguay during a storm, taking down with it the sum of $300,000 in gold bullion.

Tom persuades his father to pursue this treasure as opposed to compete for the government prize. While picking up a hired sea captain, Tom"s plans are over heard by a contestant in the government contest, and a rivalry for the treasure begins. The other submarine, named the Wonder, soon sets off to follow Tom and his crew after disembarking on their journey...
