Book Description
Since their founding in 1969, the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Association has been a powerful force for the conservation of New England's precious fishing grounds and heritage. The "Fishermen's Wives" are consummate cooks as well as dedicated activists. This book celebrates their cuisine and politics. Read the stories of cooking, courage, and love; savor the photographs, and feast on the foods that have nurtured Gloucester's seafaring families for generations, with 173 of the members' traditional European and American recipes for seafood and a variety of other appetizers, entrees and desserts. The Fishermen's Wives have helped improve safety standards on U.S. vessels, created the first subsidized health plan for fishermen, established a marine sanctuary at Stellwagen Bank, and have helped to protect the health of the ocean and the future of the fishing industry. The GFWA erected the statue that now overlooks Gloucester Harbor honoring the "faith, diligence, and fortitude" of all fishermen's wives, qualities that arise in part from their strong Sicilian-American, Portuguese, Irish, and Newfoundland cultural traditions. A portion of every book sold goes to the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Association to fund their efforts towards the conservation of New England's fishing grounds and improvement of conditions for fishermen and their families.

Book Description
Since the Viking ascendancy in the Middle Ages, the Atlantic has shaped the lives of people who depend upon it for survival. And just as surely, people have shaped the Atlantic. In his innovative account of this interdependency, W. Jeffrey Bolster, a historian and professional seafarer, takes us through a millennium-long environmental history of our impact on one of the largest ecosystems in the world. While overfishing is often thought of as a contemporary problem, Bolster reveals that humans were transforming the sea long before factory trawlers turned fishing from a handliner's art into an industrial enterprise. The western Atlantic's legendary fishing banks, stretching from Cape Cod to Newfoundland, have attracted fishermen for more than five hundred years. Bolster follows the effects of this siren's song from its medieval European origins to the advent of industrialized fishing in American waters at the beginning of the twentieth century. Blending marine biology, ecological insight, and a remarkable cast of characters, from notable explorers to scientists to an army of unknown fishermen, Bolster tells a story that is both ecological and human: the prelude to an environmental disaster. Over generations, harvesters created a quiet catastrophe as the sea could no longer renew itself. Bolster writes in the hope that the intimate relationship humans have long had with the ocean, and the species that live within it, can be restored for future generations.

Book Description
Netting shrimp in the icy waters off Cape Ann, hauling up lobster two hundred miles offshore, in the 1970s Gloucester's eastern-rig side trawlers were at the top of a dying and dangerous industry. In the tough competition for the daily catch, Gloucester's dragger fleets were the best. They went out farther, stayed out longer, and risked all as the fishing grounds grew lean. Author Peter Prybot captures the glory days of the draggers through recollections and his own firsthand observations as a lifelong Gloucester fisherman. Terrible weather, good fishing, bad fishing, great days and greater danger-- these are true stories from the decks of the celebrated trawler fleet that is no more.

Book Description
In the summer of 1979 Nubar Alexanian stepped aboard the vessel Joseph and Lucia II for ten days of fishing on Georges Bank with the Brancaleone family of Gloucester, Massachusetts and their crew. More trips followed in 1980 and 1981, and the photographs taken on those voyages form the heart of this book. They show the photographer's intimate connection with his subjects, and with Gloucester itself.The sea gives and it takes; fishermen and their families look mortality in the face every working day. We cannot say what gives the people of Gloucester their determination and perseverance, but photographs capture the spirit when words cannot, and they can make time and tide stand still. When Alexanian was taking photographs aboard the Joseph and Lucia II, he was documenting a way of life that would soon slip away and never return. His photographs lay bare the heart of a city that literally and figuratively faces the sea, its most enduring ally and its nemesis. He has chronicled both life at sea and the upland rhythms of Gloucester in images taken over a period of four decades, weaving from Georges Bank through the streets and woods, beaches and baptisms, the granite and the granite-willed. In these images of day-to-day life, of rituals, celebrations, and the ever-changing landscape, people coexist with nature's bounties and uncertainties as they have for hundreds of years.Gloucester: When the Fish Came Fish is as much an invitation as a documentary work. Alexanian's photographs reveal the spirit of this place and the strength of her people. Complex and ruggedly beautiful, they honor Gloucester's enigmatic soul, her resilient spirit, and her hard-won character. Against all odds, this is a place that continues to believe in itself.

Book Description
Like countless Gloucester fishermen before and since, Howard Blackburn and Tom Welch were trawling for halibut on the Newfoundland banks in an open dory in 1883 when a sudden blizzard separated them from their mother ship. Alone on the empty North Atlantic, they battled towering waves and frozen spray to stay afloat. Welch soon succumbed to exposure, and Blackburn did the only thing he could: He rowed for shore. He rowed five days without food or water, with his hands frozen to the oars, to reach the coast of Newfoundland. Yet his tests had only begun. So begins Joe Garland’s extraordinary account of the hero fisherman of Gloucester. Incredibly, though Blackburn lost his fingers to his icy misadventure, he went on to set a record for swiftest solo sailing voyage across the Atlantic that stood for decades. Lone Voyager is a Homeric saga of survival at sea and a thrilling portrait of the world’s most fabled fishing port in the age of sail.—Print Ed.

Book Description
The term fisherwoman does not exactly roll trippingly off the tongue, and Linda Greenlaw, the world's only female swordfish boat captain, isn't flattered when people insist on calling her one. "I am a woman. I am a fisherman. . . I am not a fisherwoman, fisherlady, or fishergirl. If anything else, I am a thirty-seven-year-old tomboy. It's a word I have never outgrown." Greenlaw also happens to be one of the most successful fishermen in the Grand Banks commercial fleet, though until the publication of Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, "nobody cared." Greenlaw's boat, the Hannah Boden, was the sister ship to the doomed Andrea Gail, which disappeared in the mother of all storms in 1991 and became the focus of Junger's book. The Hungry Ocean, Greenlaw's account of a monthlong swordfishing trip over 1,000 nautical miles out to sea, tells the story of what happens when things go right -- proving, in the process, that every successful voyage is a study in narrowly averted disaster. There is the weather, the constant danger of mechanical failure, the perils of controlling five sleep-, women-, and booze-deprived young fishermen in close quarters, not to mention the threat of a bad fishing run: "If we don't catch fish, we don't get paid, period. In short, there is no labor union." Greenlaw's straightforward, uncluttered prose underscores the qualities that make her a good captain, regardless of gender: fairness, physical and mental endurance, obsessive attention to detail. But, ultimately, Greenlaw proves that the love of fishing -- in all of its grueling, isolating, suspenseful glory -- is a matter of the heart and blood, not the mind. "I knew that the ocean had stories to tell me, all I needed to do was listen." -- Svenja Soldovieri
