Deep-sea fishing has always been a hazardous occupation, with crews
facing gale-force winds, huge waves and swells, and unrelenting
rain and snow. For those New England and British fishermen whose
voyages took them hundreds of miles from the coastline, life was
punctuated by strenuous work, grave danger, and frequent fear.
Unsurprisingly, every fishing port across the world has memorials
to those lost at sea. During the 1960s and 1970s, these seafaring
workers experienced new hardships. As modern fleets from many
nations intensified their hunt for fish, they found themselves in
increasing competition for disappearing prey. Colin J. Davis
details the unfolding drama as New England and British fishermen
and their wives, partners, and families reacted to this
competition. Rather than acting as bystanders to these crises, the
men and women chronicled in Contested and Dangerous Seas became
fierce advocates for the health of the Atlantic Ocean fisheries and
for their families' livelihoods.
