Return To Civilian Status
After leaving active duty, Ellsberg worked for the Tide Water Oil Company and began writing books about his exploits and about historical events.
In December 1927, Ellsberg volunteered for active duty to rescue survivors trapped in the sunken submarine S-4. The rescue efforts failed and Ellsberg returned home in early January 1928.
Ellsberg's 1931 book, Pigboats, inspired the 1933 movie, Hell Below, starring Robert Montgomery, Robert Young, Jimmy Durante, and Madge Evans.
