The fishermen who ply their trade on the Atlantic Ocean can tell thousands of tales of daring rescue and tragic loss of life. In The Trawlermen, Clarence Vautier explores the lives of some of Atlantic Canada's best-known sea captains. He traces the history of these men and their stalwart vessels while highlighting their more heroic--and dangerous--exploits on the high seas.
