Editorial Review Product Description Eleven days later, on Valentine's Day, the overturned hull of the Americus was found drifting in calm seas only twenty-five miles from Dutch Harbor, without a single distress call or trace of its seven-man crew.The Altair, its sister ship, had disappeared altogether; in the desperate search that followed, no evidence of the vessel or its crew would ever be found.The nature of the disaster--fourteen men and two vessels,apparently lost within hours of each other--made it the worst on record in the history of U.S. commercial fishing. Delving into the mysterious tragedy of the Americus and Altair, acclaimed journalist Patrick Dillon vivifies the eighty-knot winds, subzero temperatures, and mountainous waves commercial fishermen fight daily to make their living, and illustrates the incredible rise of the Pacific Northwest's ocean frontier: from a father-and-son business to a dangerously competitive multibillion-dollar high-tech industry with one of the highest death rates in the nation.Here Dillon explores the lives the disaster left behind in Anacortes: the ambitious young entrepreneur who raised the top-notch fleet in a few short years, the guilt-ridden captains of the surviving sister boats, and the grief-numbed families of the crew.Tracing the two-year investigation launched by the Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board, he brings to life a heated cast of opponents: ingenious scientists, defensive marine architects, blue-chip lawyers and wrangling politicians, all struggling to come to terms with the puzzling death of fourteen men at sea.And finally, in his evocation of one mother's crusade to pass the safety legislation that might save lives, Dillon creates a moving portrait of courage and love. Patrick Dillon grew up among commercial fishermen on an island in Puget Sound.Formerly an editor and columnist for the San Jose Mercury News, he has won national journalism awards, including a share of the Pulitzer Prize.His columns and essays have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and Fast Company magazine, among other publications.Married to photographer Anne Dowie and the father of two, he lives in San Francisco. In Lost at Sea, Patrick Dillon examines how theAmericus/Altair disaster is indicative of the problems withAmerican fishing, an industry that annually tops the list of "MostDangerous Occupations," and what has been done in the tragedy'saftermath. During his research, including a season as a crew memberaboard a fishing boat, Dillon encountered a murky sea full of menfiercely opposed to government regulations, an industry that alwaysexpects to do business the same way--its own way--and,conversely, an American government that prodded its fishing industryinto possibly unsafe practices in order to compete with foreignfishing powers. Dillon interviews dozens of friends, coworkers, andfamily members of the lost fishermen, and the scenes that describe thesmall Washington town of Anacortes, which hosted the lost fleet and isalmost completely reliant on fishing for livelihood, are touching.Inthe end, despite years of hearings and probes into the fishingindustry, not much has changed, Dillon reports. Every year a certainnumber of men go out into rough seas, and every year a smaller numberof them return home, as the industry remains largely free ofregulation. --Tjames Madison Customer Reviews (37)
