More Tales from a Cornish Lugger by Paul Greenwood
In this sequel to his much-acclaimed first book, Once Aboard A Cornish Lugger, Paul Greenwood draws on his own experiences in the 1970s and 1980s to graphically bring to life the hardships and dangers faced by Cornish fishermen. More Tales From A Cornish Lugger tells of gales, whales, wrecks and rigours of life aboard the fishing luggers that worked off the south coast of Cornwall.
Paul Greenwood was born in Looe in 1947. His father was a shipwright by trade, later to become a cabinet maker and antique restorer, his mother a schoolteacher. The eldest of four children, he went to sea at the age of 16, joining the Iris in 1964. He later sailed as bosun aboard the Malcolm Miller before returning to fishing in 1973 and buying his own boat, the lugger Ibis, in 1978 which he used until 2002. He now lives in East Looe and owns the sailing lugger Erin. His first book, Once Aboard A Cornish Lugger, was published by the Polperro Heritage Press in 2007.
