That Darn Newspaper Headline

“The large words printed on the page screamed at Ed Williams so loud he couldn't ignore them. He was unable to look away. They grabbed at his mind like a mythical Greek Siren's wail and pulled him in. There it was in the 1897 edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper.

“GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! Sixty-Eight Rich Men on the Steamer Portland. STACKS OF YELLOW METAL!”

When Mike was only 16, his dad got him a job on a purse seiner boat out of the picturesque town of Cordova, Alaska on Prince William Sound. Mike had no idea what a purse seiner was, but he was about to find out.

All over the world, people say, “I'd like to go commercial fishing in Alaska for the adventure and to make a lot of money.”

Yes, it's an incredible adventure, but the work is hard. It's very hard.

Climb onboard for an Alaska adventure.

An Instant Preview From Mike's story:

“Then the Skipper yelled, “what are you doing? I told you to pull in the lead line!” Frustrated, I swung around to look at the Skipper. When I did, the plunger pole slipped out of one hand and the end of the wooden pole struck him on the side of his head. Suddenly, I watched in terror as the Skipper's body shook in anger. He looked up at me with furious eyes and yelled, “what?” At that moment, I shot back with, “what do you want me to do? Man the plunger pole or the lead line?” The Skipper stood there still shaking for an angry moment and loudly growled “both!”

Kings of Sole

kings of sole

Have you ever been to the town of Cordova, Alaska?

Three teenage boys, Mike, Tom, and a friend, decided to make some money during summer vacation by catching sole under a cannery and selling their catch to a local restaurant. Great idea?

But the boys didn't count on a few things that would turn their summer vacation plans into an Alaska adventure.

An Instant Preview From “Kings of Sole”:

“We were having so much fun catching Sole that we didn't notice the tide was coming in. And because we had tied off our boat too tight to the post, our boat was seriously leaning to one side, and we were close to taking on water.


As I pulled in another Sole and put it in our boat, I noticed that our boat was in trouble, and we were about to sink. So, I quickly took my trusty knife out of my pocket and cut the now very tight line attached to the post.


Whoosh – our boat sprang up out of the water, nearly throwing the three of us out of our small craft.”
