Magnuson Stevens: 1976-2000 As Seen Through the Eyes of a Young Fisherman

A collection of short stories covering one of the most dangerous professions in the world, Dan Marvin covers his early life and unique experiences that set the stage for his following career path and his unintentional involvement in the country's last big expansion. He outlines how he started in the commercial fishing industry as a young man just out of high school and looking for some adventure and to find himself. The author further lays out how the fishing industry quickly expanded and evolved, the brutal conditions of the treacherous Alaskan waters, real life accounts of big storms, sinkings and dealing with the tragic loss of friends and fellow fishermen. For those enamored with maritime and Pacific Northwest History the author provides historic documents and Coast Guard reports alongside his own personal history to tell the tale of Oregon's worst maritime disaster, the sinking of the Francis H Leggett from a completely different angle!
