More than 140 years of Scottish fishing history as told through the fishermen's own memories and traditions, concentrating on the time when crews worked with oar and sail.
These men knew and had names for every bay, inlet and rock in their home area and amassed a huge collective knowledge of how and when to fish.
Such fisheries as Donegal and Dunmore East in Ireland, Isle of Man, the Firth of Forth and Whitby are also explored and the hardships and dangers of both drift-net and ring-net fishing vividly recalled in this timely tribute to a vanished way of life.
