The Working Waterfront Festival is pleased to announce the publication of Voices from the Waterfront: Portrait of the New Bedford Fishing Industry. The 80-page book is based on interviews conducted over a five year period with 43 individuals from the New Bedford/Fairhaven fishing community.
Their voices provide a rare first hand accounting of life and work in the port. Those interviewed include retired and active fishermen, lumpers, auctioneers, shoreside business owners, fisheries scientists, a tug boat captain, fishing family members and others. Oral history excerpts are accompanied by black and white portraits taken by photographer Markham Starr.
The book retails for $18.95 (plus tax) and is available at Baker Books (Dartmouth), New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, The Ocean Explorium (New Bedford), Jardin and Dawson Settlement House (New Bedford), Euro & Phoenix (Fairhaven), Reidars Manufacturing (Fairhaven), Partners Village Store (Westport), The Bookstall (Marion) and can be ordered through the Working Waterfront Festival web site: www.workingwaterfrontfestival.org and shipped anywhere in the country.
