"Newfoundland is a victim, both of her own and of the world's excesses.  Newfoundland is a warning signal, a microcosm of the planet itself.  For three months my crew and I sailed there, trying to learn what had happened, trying to understand why.  Our task, however, was not easy--for like fishermen lowering their nets to scour unseen depths, we soon found ourselves searching across a vast expanse of  human hopes and ambitions, aspirations and fears, exploring a complex terrain that would surrender its secrets only to those who were patient and willing to listen."
