The Fishermen's Memorial and Record Book

More about the book

The History Press is proud to announce the release of a new edition of The Fishermen’s Memorial and Record Book. This New England, and especially Gloucester-area, classic was created in 1873 by a Gloucester newspaperman who endeavored to collect and publish the stories, sayings and other records of the fishermen of America’s leading fishing port. This new edition has been reprinted exactly with numerous original line drawings and engravings, as well as a new introduction by Gloucester historian and writer Joe Garland. This book is an excellent gift book and reference tool—it is truly a treasure trove of fascinating, dramatic and moving stories from an era past.
