General Interest Alone at Sea: Gloucester Product Details: Category: Books ISBN: 0981943071 Title: Alone at Sea: Gloucester The Fast Free Shipping Author: Morris John Publisher: Commonwealth Editions Year Published: 2010 Number of Pages: 464 Book Binding: Hardback Prizes: N/A Book Condition: GOOD SKU: CIN0981943071G Item description The definitive fishing history of Gloucester, from its emergence in the 17th century to its decline in the 20th century. Using diaries, business records and interviews with surviving dorymen, John N. Morris paints an indelible portrait of a key New England industry and the port that has seen expansion and retraction, loss and tragedy. Morris chronicles such events as the Great Yankee Gale of 1851, which smashed into the Gloucester fishing fleet off the coast of Prince Edward Island. There is also the story of the waves of immigrants - from the Azores, Nova Scotia, Sweden, Norway and Sicily - who went to sea in their quest for the American dream. He traces the history of the great Gloucester schooner, the Oretha F. Spinney, one of the last working schooners. Hi
