Deadliest Waters: A Story Of Survival On Alaskan Seas. Sig Hansen And Mark Sundeen (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
The book, North By Northwestern, was a great book to read. Its a true story about a family legacy of fishermen that brave the vast, unpredictable Bering Sea for Alaskan crab. I personally enjoyed reading this piece of nonfiction due to the amount of detail the author put in the text. Another reason is because the second generation of fishing in the Hansen Family was a Norwegian immigrant, Sverre Hansen, that went to Alaska to follow his fathers footsteps and that was to fish. With that dream he was able to create a 1.2 million dollar family operation, the fishing vessel, Northwestern. I recommend this book to anyone one that like fishing, likes the show Deadliest Catch, or to anyone one that has a dream, because the only way this book was able to written was because of a dream that was made without giving up. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. As a huge fan of Discovery's Deadliest Catch and the crew of the F/V Northwestern in general this book was a must-read. Sig Hansen, who is obviously a fisherman first and not an awe-inspiring author ~no offense Sig~, does an excellent job recounting both the history of the crab fishery on the Bering Sea as well as his own family history. The book is a very easy read and I personally learned a lot about the fishery. After reading this book, I've also found watching Deadliest Catch to be a little more entertaining because I understand more of what's going on in the show. I highly recommend this book to any fan of the show and any one looking for a nautical, easy-read.
