Collected for the first time in Nights of Ice, these eight true
stories recount the harrowing ordeals of those who haul fish aboard
Alaskan fishing vessels. As workers in one of the world's most
dangerous - and lucrative - professions, the crewmen in Nights of
Ice face a constant onslaught of roaring waves, stories-high
swells, and life-stealing ice. Within seconds, a vessel such as the
forty-ton Tidings can fill with icy water and slip into the depths,
hurling crewmen into the freezing ocean and entombing the skipper
inside its sinking hull. A ship like the Mia Dawn can run aground
on a piece of submerged rock and immediately ice over, sinking
steadily as her crew, battered by hypothermia and ninety-mph winds,
assembles a life raft to await helicopter rescue by the U.S. Coast
Guard. Tested by the elements, ravaged by their own emotions, the
seamen in these extraordinary stories battle both fear and the
violent unpredictability of nature. As Spike Walker's deft
narration reveals, they do so with courage, instinct, and an
unrelenting will to survive.
