Life on a Commercial Fishing Boat

Extreme Jobs in Extreme Places

A fisherman's life isn't as calm and serene as some might think. In fact, it usually involves backbreaking work, torrential rain, and sometimes even extreme danger. Exciting photographs take readers aboard the freezing, damp conditions of an Alaskan crab boat, one of the deadliest workplaces in the world. Readers will learn about the many obstacles and challenges fishermen face and also why they keep heading back out to sea.
