Sign up for the Hamptons Weekly Brief and win one of six signed copies of "Dark Noon: The Final Voyage of the Fishing Boat 'Pelican'"!
"Dark Noon" is a taut, suspenseful, ultimately heartbreaking true story of a fateful day at sea. It is also a journey back to the America of the early 1950s, a story of the postwar American dream as experienced in the fishing village of Montauk, Long Island. A laborer could still buy a round-trip train ticket from Queens to Montauk for $8 and fish all day with Captain Eddie. Fish meant money, and optimism and success went hand in hand.
It's also the story of the end of an era, when one terrible disaster changed the fishing culture of a prosperous port forever. The Pelican's passengers, like postwar America itself, was blinded by hope. They baited their hooks and waited, wondering what they would find in the deep and shining waters of the Atlantic, unaware of the dark storm gathering overhead.
