- Summary
- "Great Stories of the Sea brings together the best stories of coastal life. When whaling was the continent's high-tech industry, the coast was America's Silicon Valley, and before anyone heard of Yukon gold, there was the rush for fish and timber along Newfoundland's rugged shore. The seaboards are a storyteller's paradise, a hothouse of history, a sea-bound adventure. Great Stories of the Sea includes stories of the past as well as contemporary tales.
- It offers portraits of seamen and their families' lives, of working people and harbor life."--BOOK JACKET.
