More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
The gripping story of Britain's most dangerous job - fishing the unforgiving waters of the North Sea.
Product Description
TRAWLERMAN is the memoir of Jimmy Buchan - skipper of the Amity II, a fishing vessel based in Peterhead, Europe's largest fishing port. Jimmy's story is one of incredible highs and lows. It's a life that has been lived on the very crest of danger and despair, a career of thirty years that has seen other skippers fall by the wayside, undone by a declining industry, or worse, lost to the unforgiving North Sea. By turns gripping, comic and nostalgic, this tale of Britain's most dangerous job, carried out by Britain's most famous skipper, is guaranteed to mesmerize.

Ihave been looking forward to this book since I heard that Jimmy was to write a book.I was not dissapointed.It was very well written,and once I had started reading I could not put it down.As an ex fisherman i was taken back to the days when i started the Fishing,Back in 1958.Shear hard work and a good paying job.Jimmy describes it all and I had some really great memories of the fishing.Like Jimmy I started off as Engineer after i completed National Service in th Royal Navy and i worked my way up to 1st mate and skipper.Lots of good times in his book and lots of sensible suggestions for the future of the Fishing.Well worth waiting for and a really Good read.Trawlerman

I watched the tv serial program about these wonderful men who go to sea and the book was wonderful I enjoyed it as it was so easy to picture what was going on.
My thanks to these brave men who have the sea in their blood.

Jimmy provides a pithy and no nonesense view of the fishing industry and the dangerous conditions that prevail on the North Sea. Having read this book you'll never look at a plate of fish again in quite the same way without wondering quite how hard people had to work in dangerous conditions to get it to you. As an added bonus I bought my copy from Jimmy on board Amity 2 when he was in London promoting the Fisherman's Mission.
