Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been over 50 years since I spent my summer's aboard the J.L. Stanley and Sons. So much has changed in that brief period of time that it seems like a distant past. Gone are the bountiful fish and invincibility of the oceans. Greatly diminished is an industry that formed communities and supported generations. Gone is a way of life that now seems so innocent. Children never moved so far away and genuine familiarity with our neighbors was common. The language itself was kinder and gentler in the spoken word.
