Waiting For Sailing Orders: Fisher Life At The Land�������s End is a book written by Mrs. George Gladstone and published in 1873. The book is a detailed account of the lives of fishermen in the Land’s End region of Cornwall, England. The author provides a vivid description of the daily struggles and challenges faced by these fishermen and their families, including the dangers of fishing in stormy seas, the harsh living conditions, and the economic difficulties of the fishing industry.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of fisherman life. The author describes the various types of fishing boats used in the region and the tools and techniques employed by the fishermen. She also provides insight into the social and cultural aspects of the fishing community, including their customs, superstitions, and religious beliefs.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of family and community in the lives of these fishermen. She describes the strong bonds that exist between family members and the support that they provide to each other during difficult times. The author also highlights the role of women in the fishing industry, both as wives and mothers who support their husbands and sons, and as active participants in the fishing itself.Overall, Waiting For Sailing Orders: Fisher Life At The Land�������s End is a fascinating and engaging account of a way of life that has long since disappeared. The book provides a unique insight into the lives of fishermen and their families in the 19th century, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Cornwall or the fishing industry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
