The Trawler by James Brendan Connolly ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

The Trawler by James Brendan Connolly audiobook.

Genre: drama

In Gloucester, Massachusetts, the news comes ashore like a breaker in the night: Arthur Snow, a young bank fisherman, has been swept from the deck of the trawler Arbiter and lost at sea. His father, John Snow, and his niece, Mary, receive the story with grief - and with anger aimed at the vessel's skipper, Hugh Glynn, a towering, fiercely proud captain whose hunger to outwork and outrun every other craft has earned him both admiration and fear. When Glynn himself arrives to speak with the Snows, the tragedy turns into a reckoning, forcing everyone to weigh seamanship against ambition, and pride against responsibility. Watching it all is Simon Kippen, Arthur's close friend, who feels the pull of loyalty and unfinished duty. Determined to understand what took Arthur - and to prove what kind of man he will be - Simon asks for Arthur's place aboard Glynn's vessel as a dory mate, sailing into the brutal, routine danger of the Grand Banks. Between Gloucester and Newfoundland, amid hard weather, harder labor, and the tight bonds of men who risk everything for a share, Simon must face the sea, the skipper, and his own conflicted heart.
