Nine stories of men who work on the water: a navy officer’s small son at anchorage, Gloucester fishermen racing for their dories, a wrecked steamer, an engineer’s Caribbean days and a whaling ship’s battle cruise. Connolly, who shipped out with fishing fleets and served in the navy, writes their talk and seamanship from the inside.
