Fishing is still the deadliest
occupation in the country, and despite new and modern life-saving technology
and better boats, the fatality rate in the industry is the same as it was
twenty years ago. A whopping 70% of search and rescue calls are from fishing
vessels in distress. For the past ten years, fisheries journalist Jim
Wellman has documented the stories of some of the thousands of fishing
people who have died in Atlantic Canada on small inshore fishing vessels. In
Final Voyages Volume III, Wellman tells thirty-one riveting stories
of the most courageous people that ever battled the merciless northwest
Atlantic Ocean.
