The author writes about fishing for Basking Sharks in the Atlantic. The only book on the subject I have seen so far. surprisingly the insight by the author of the biology and behavior of this shark was highly enlightened for the time the book was written (1950's). I was surprised that even then, fisherman were beginning to see that the oceans were being 'fished out', a truly relevant issue today. An interesting book for anyone interested in sharks and their history.
