A young doctor, weary of himself, goes out with the Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen and sees at first hand the brutal life of the North Sea trawler fleets. Aboard a hospital smack he treats crushed hands and fractured skulls, meets drunkards and heroes, survives gales and shipwreck, and learns to value the rough men he serves.
A heartfelt picture of Victorian fishing life by a writer who knew the fleets well. Download the free EPUB.
