A gritty and insightful potrait into commercial fishing at the ragged edge of the known world. The Arctic Rose sank very abruptly and in the middle of the night and baffled authorities. The cause of the sinking was a great mystery. Journalist Hugo Kugiya's investigation of this unprecedented disaster reveals a powerful story of adventure and adversity, illuminating how the modern fishing industry gave rise to these sailors' dangerous and strangely archaic life.
