Working The Sea: Misadventures, Ghost Stories, And Life Lessons From A Maine Lobster Fisherman

The author paints a lively portrait of life both off and on the shores of Maine, journeying from a two-room schoolhouse to the College of the Atlantic, through boatyards to back alleys, and from labor strikes to soul-searching road trips.

In "Working the Sea," Wendell Seavey paints a lively portrait of life both on and off the shores of Maine. Journeying from a two-room schoolhouse to the College of the Atlantic, from boatyards to back alleys, and from labor strikes to soul-searching road trips, he is accompanied not only by fisherman, but also by professors, psychiatrists, and environmentalists. A man of humor and humility, open to both nature and the supernatural, Wendell Seavey is living proof that fishermen are indeed the best storytellers.
