Around the wild and windswept Cornish coast fishing has been a way of life for centuries.Sons have followed fathers and grandfathers in the family boats setting out from ports such as Polperro, Mevagissey, Mousehole, Newlyn,St Ives, Port Isaac, Looe and Falmouth.Sheila Bird has taken the time to talk to local people who made their living from the sea and using first hand accounts and a fascinating collection of photographs tells the story of the fishermen of Cornwall:the conditions, the work, the people and the humour.
