Down at the Docks
by Rory Nugent

Nugent tells the story of America's largest fishing port, New Bedford, Massachusetts--a city which has withered as outsourcing has blossomed. "Down at the Docks" is a view of a community mired in failed promises and struggling to maintain its heritage.

"No writer I can think of, unless it is Sebastian Junger, might have written this obsessed, intrepid, and intelligent book."
--Alec Wilkinson
"Lively, fascinating, and challenging. Rory Nugent has found the last of New Bedford's indomitable fishermen, and the past comes roaring back to life just in time to make us think more deeply about the future of the seas."
--Tony Hiss, author of "The Experience of Place
Paperback 304 pages - (2/10)
