The fisherman?s way of life, always at the mercy of the violence of the elements, is disappearing. Fishing over the last fifty years has been completely transformed by industrialization, and small-scale coastal fishing is today in decline. Yet many of the old rituals remain ? memorials for those lost at sea, carnivals and festivals. This beautiful book celebrates this harsh and singular world, and reveals the poetry of its everyday and functional objects.
