"Like my previous book , The Driftermen, this tale is based not on documents and written records, but on the first hand living memories of the men involved. Thus the driftermen set down an authentic account oo the now vanished herring industry, once one of the staple industries of Britain. The Trawlermen attempts to do the same for the other important branch of the fishing industry. Theirs was a different method , a different quarry and a different way of life. They shared in common with the drifter folk the perils of the sea, endless hard graft and lousy conditions for scant reward, and a salty tolerance of life as it came."
