Customer Reviews

Superb chronicle of salt-bank fishing.

Timeless story of the triumph of hard work and perseverance over commercialism. The book is a tribute to Canadian character by an American historian. Illustrated in copperplate style by the authour's husband, the noted sculptor and printmaker Zeke Ziner. Inspired by a voyage from Montreal's Expo '67 to Halifax aboard Bluenose II The book has been a sort of record breaker itself as it has remained in print for over 26 years
