by E. W. Seabrook Hull
About the author
Born in Washington, D.C., in 1923, E. W. Seabrook Hull was the pen name of Edward Whaley Seabrook Hull. He served as a United States Marine Corps pilot during World War II and went on to build a career as a journalist, author, publisher, and photographer, with a strong focus on marine science and environmental topics.
Hull wrote widely on oceanography, nuclear science, and rocketry for general audiences. He is especially known for The Atom and the Ocean, a 1968 title in the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's "Understanding the Atom" series, which explored how nuclear technology could be used in ocean research, shipping, desalination, and food preservation.
Archival and library sources describe him as an expert in marine science and rocketry who published across several fields and cared deeply about ecology and the sea. He died in 2007 at the age of 83.
