Seller's Description:
Like New in Fine jacket. In the tradition of Sebastian Junger and Linda Greenlaw comes Captain Sig Hansen's rags-to-riches epic of his immigrant family's struggle against deadly Alaskan seas, freezing shipwrecks, and dangerously brutal conditions to achieve the American Dream. Sig Hansen has been a star of the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch from the pilot to the present. Seen in over 150 countries, the show attracts more than 49 million viewers per season, making it one of the most successful series in the history of cable TV. This is the story of a family of survivors; part memoir and part adventure tale, North by Northwestern brings readers on deck, into the dockside bars and into the history of a family with a common destiny. Built around a gripping tale of a deadly shipwreck like The Perfect Storm, North By Northwestern is the multi-generational tale of the Hansen family, a clan of tough Norwegian-American fishermen who, through the popularity of The Deadliest Catch, have become modern folk-heroes.
Historical, informative, interesting....it's well written and a fast read. Great insight into the lives of a Norwegian fishing family that settled in the Seattle area of Ballard, Washington to fish the Bearing Sea of Alaska. If you watch "Deadliest Catch" you're familiar with Sig Hansen, the captain of "Northwestern" fishing/crabbing vessel, and the deadly seas where these hardy men earn their living.
I enjoyed the book so much I bought a copy for a friend. If you like history and adventure, this book is for you!!

Loved it!!
Yes, it's about fishing. But it's also about Norway, Seattle, and family. And it makes you appreciate the seafood you eat! It will definitely keep your interest throughout.
