"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."
--from the
Prologue to Servants of the Fish
