Description

In the course of thirteen days in January 1999, four commercial clam boats sank in horrifying succession even as working the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, taking the lives of ten men. Husbands, fathers, loners, and drug users, each and every man was once lured to the nation’s most dangerous trade by the lucrative wages offered to those that dared to harvest the harvest of the sea. On this compelling maritime tale of risk and danger, acclaimed journalist Douglas Campbell compassionately portrays the destinies of the men who lost their lives to the Atlantic and the lure of profits from clamming. From the tough and every now and then troubled young men on deck to their families on shore, and the courageous individuals who tried to rescue them, this narrative memorializes an approach to life, and exposes the hazards of this dangerous trade.
