The Mortal Sea: Fishing the Atlantic in the Age of Sail
Vendor: Cape Ann Museum Store
By W. Jeffrey Bolster
Hardcover, 378 pages
The western Atlantic's fishing banks, stretching from Cape Cod to Newfoundland, have attracted fishermen for more than five hundred years. A historian and seafarer himself, Bolster explores our historic dependency on the Atlantic and how humans have, in turn, made an impact on one of the largest ecosystems in the world beginning with medieval European up to the advent of industrialized fishing in American waters in the 20th century.
