This is a rare first edition of Salt of the Sea, The Pacific Coast Cod Fishery and the Last Days of Sail. It was written by the American Master and fishing business owner Captain Ed Shields and published in 2001.


Shields tells the comprehensive history of the North Pacific codfish industry, shedding light on the lives of the men who sailed to the Bering Sea in search of cod from the 1860s until 1950. He tells the story of the men, and describes the work that went into preparing the fishing fleet for five months on the high seas and ensuring that the ships came back safely with a full hold.


238 pages with loads of photographs, all black and white.

As you can see, the dust jacket is not in good condition, although the big white mark at top right is price tag remnants.

There is a tiny amount of shelf-rubbing to the bottom edge of the book.

Inside, it's perfect.
