About this book
Across the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, medical care depends on long sea passages and the ability to reach scattered fishing settlements. Norman Duncan describes Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell's work with the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen, placing the doctor among the people whose lives give that work its purpose. An early encounter with a family waiting months for help makes the need for a coastal medical service painfully clear.
The account combines a portrait of Grenfell with descriptions of rocky shores, uncertain charts and the practical skill of local seamen. Duncan records conversations with fishermen and tells stories of captains navigating darkness or facing pressure to sail in dangerous weather.
