In conversations with the region's fishermen and boatbuilders, the author finds webs of decades-old social history and realizes that workboats are critical in maintaining a community's memories and its very sense of identity. Including nearly 100 of Earley's own striking duotones, this richly illustrated book brings to life the world of a fishing culture threatened by local and global forces.

Reviews
"Earley's black-and-white photographs. . . . do an excellent job of highlighting Down East fishing culture."--Publishers Weekly
“Not only a beautiful photography book that’s pleasing to look at but one that will prove a valuable record of a way of life that might not be around much longer.”--Sea History
"An extraordinary collection of writing and photographs."--Durham Herald-Sun
“The book is written for the fisher and the layperson alike; Earley, an accomplished nature writer, is most interested in how stories create a deep culture that has sustained itself against the ebbing tide that is modernity.”--Carolina Alumni Review
"Earley illustrates that a boat is not just a boat."--Coastwatch
“An extraordinary collection of writing and photographs.”--Durham Herald Sun
