The Hungry Ocean by Linda Greenlaw
A Swordboat Captain's Journey
A candid, seafaring memoir recounting a season aboard a Maine-based swordfishing vessel, detailing the grueling work, fierce storms, and dangers of the North Atlantic while portraying the close-knit crew and the chase for swordfish. Combining technical detail, dry humor, and clear-eyed reflection, it captures the beauty, brutality, and solitude of commercial fishing and the author’s deep engagement with the sea.
