Description

A memoir of life at sea, from childhood to becoming a trawlerman. James Greene recounts his experiences in the deep-sea fishing industry, including encounters with harsh weather conditions and ship collisions. Greene's story spans several decades, taking readers through his early career as a deckhand learner and his eventual attainment of a skipper's ticket. The book includes accounts of both successful voyages and disastrous events, such as fires, poaching incidents, and being swept overboard in icy waters off the Russian coast. This memoir aims to preserve memories of the British trawling industry, now largely a bygone age, and offers a unique insight into the lives of those who worked on these vessels.
