About this Book
Able seamen were a vital link in the yearly cycle of cod production and shipment abroad. They operated on behalf of the merchants in Newfoundland. They were, indeed, intrepid and without them, trade with foreign countries might never have survived.
This account of historical events describes tragedies that took place at sea during the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early days of the twentieth.
