An extraordinary collection of writing and photographs.--Durham Herald-Sun Earley's black-and-white photographs. . . . do an excellent job of highlighting Down East fishing culture.--Publishers Weekly The book is written for the fisher and the layperson alike; Earley, an accomplished nature writer, is most interested in how stories create a deep culture that has sustained itself against the ebbing tide that is modernity.--Carolina Alumni Review Not only a beautiful photography book that's pleasing to look at but one that will prove a valuable record of a way of life that might not be around much longer.--Sea History Earley illustrates that a boat is not just a boat.--Coastwatch

I'll never look at a boat moored in a bay again and just see 'a boat.' I'll always wonder about the web of builders, fishermen, and local families whose lives are connected to it, sometimes over generations. Earley has brought these boats to life in a way nobody ever has. --David Cecelski, author of The Fire of Freedom: Abraham Galloway and the Slaves' Civil War
