In the course of thirteen days in January 1999, four commercial clam boats sank in horrifying succession while working the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, taking the lives of ten men. Husbands, fathers, loners, and drug users, each man was lured to the nation s most dangerous trade by the lucrative wages offered to those who dared to reap the harvest of the ocean.
