Author Info:



Jim Wellman grew up in Port Anson, a small fishing and logging community on

Newfoundland\'s northeast coast. The son of a schooner captain, Jim never

strayed far from his marine roots despite choosing a career in journalism.

For fifteen years, Jim was host of the popular radio program the Fisheries

Broadcast on CBC Radio in Newfoundland. After taking an early retirement

from the radio business in 1997, Jim turned off the microphone and picked

up a pen. He has written nine books with marine connections.



Jim has been contracted by several agencies and corporations such as Marine

Atlantic, the Canadian Sealers Association, and Heritage Canada to draw

from his marine knowledge, particularly in the fishing industry. In

November 2002, Jim became managing editor of the Navigator, Atlantic

Canada\'s premier fisheries and marine magazine.
