About this Book

The fishing industry kills more people than any other job in the world. On average, Atlantic Canada loses one fisherman every month.

From the pages of the Navigator magazine comes a collection of more than twenty sea stories from Jim Wellman’s widely acclaimed series, Final Voyages. This volume marks his fourth venture onto the cold Atlantic waters, to stand alongside captain and crew and tell the stories of these unsung heroes: small-boat fishermen. In this book we learn the dangers of the sea that these mariners from Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador must face every day . . . in the deadliest profession known to man.

Review Quotes
"There is compassion and poignancy in the details [Wellman] chooses to tell their stories."
The Chronicle Herald

"In combining personal accounts with a larger context, Wellman brings to light the heroism and bravery that these people face every day."
The Northern Mariner
