Men's Lives is a eulogy for a few generations of fishermen and a fishing community on the South Fork of Long Island. From the late 19th century to the 1960s motorless dories were launched from the beach, setting nets that were hauled in by horse teams and then winches on cars. Motors were added to the dories, but by the 1980s striped bass conservation measures, poor fishing and employment opportunities in other industries were driving off the newest generation of would-be fishermen. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Notable Lists
An eloquent portrayal of a disappearing way of life of the Long Island fishermen whose voices--humorous, bitter and bewildered--are as clear as the threatened beauty of their once quiet shore. No library descriptions found. |

Apart from my personal connections, this book is startlingly relevant today, as various groups debate the state of marine wildlife and the wisest steps to take to conserve sea life. A very good read. ( )
