The Wreck of the Mary Deare (in the UK published as The Mary Deare) is a 1956 novel written by British author Hammond Innes, which was later adapted as a film starring Gary Cooper released in 1959 by MGM. According to Jack Adrian, the book "at a stroke launched him into that rarefied empyrean most writers yearn for though few attain, supersellerdom." The success of the book - and the 1959 film based on it starring Gary Cooper - enabled Innes to buy his own 42 ft ocean racer, which he named Mary Deare.
