The fishing industry in Atlantic Canada has gone through massive change in the last twenty years. Now, even small inshore vessels are outfitted with fishing equipment that would astound those mariners who passed on just a generation ago. But still, despite the incredible advances in technology, dozens of fishermen continue to die each year doing what they know best. Simply put, fishing is still one of the most dangerous professions in the world. In Final Voyages: Volume II Jim Wellman portrays the stories of some of those tragic events, along with other accounts of near-death experiences that finished with happier endings.
