Because I called the Andrea Gail fictional when it is real

It is a tough industry. I grew up when everybody had friends whose father was "at sea" on a tuna boat for extended periods, or whose female relatives worked in a cannery.  https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-07-me-1290-story.html

 

As someone who has visited, and loves visiting places such as Gloucester, MA (home of the NON-FICTIONAL Andrea Gail), and who has some acquaintances who fish as a job, I can attest to the fact that the life of a commercial fisherman or fisherwoman is tough...squared.
