Salt Water, Fresh Water

Salt Water, Fresh Water: over a hundred Canadians who work on the water--fishermen, guides, pilots, divers, rum-runners, whales, tugboat skippers, and many more--pass along their vivid stories of life afloat, past and present.

By Allan Anderson. There is a written note on the first page of the book, not written by the author.

Ghost ships sailing out of the night, a shark and swordfish teaming up to kill a whale, icebergs fizzling like Alka-Seltzer, a great sea-creature rearing its horse-like head beside a fishing-boat, a one-armed man setting out to row across the Atlantic, a lost sou'westerner re-appearing from the Pacific on its owner's trolling hook, netting herring diving in unison and dragging net and boat over with them, a pilot steering a steaming through tricky St. Lawrence rapids without touching the wheel, fishermen walking on the water in the middle of Lake Erie--this book contains so many astonishing stories that it will keep you and your friends entertained for months.
