- Synopsis
-
Incorporating elements of anthropology, marine biology, and marine technology, Michael Meltzer's story of men and boats weaves together actual interviews with fishermen from all three coasts, vivid descriptions of their lives, the ways of the communities in which they live, and many fascinating details -- about fishing vessels, fishing gear, and numerous kinds of fish.
From a salmon puller's story to fisherman's superstitions and harbor hierarchies, geologist-teacher Meltzer's account is colorful, serious, anecdotal, and informational.
