A Video of Fishing Aboard the Joy
In April of last year, photographer Meggen Watt spent a day fishing aboard Fishtown’s tug Joy. Meggen has prepared a video for an up-close look at fishing “in action.”
When Pentwater Had a Fishtown
We’re back with more photos of moments and faces from Pentwater’s commercial fishing world. You won’t find any trace of this fishing life along Pentwater’s shores today. That’s why we preserve Fishtown: it’s both a place and a way of life.
The Last Fisherman
Bud Stenberg defines himself by his family, his service with the Marines, and his life as a commercial fisherman. He is Pentwater’s last fisherman, and this week he came to visit us in Fishtown, where he can still experience the fishing life.
