Description: *Gloucester's Bargain with the Sea* profiles the combination of factors - the dramatic and tragic history of schooner fishing, a rugged coastline with its own special light, and an independent way of life - that attracted first-rate artists and authors to Gloucester and Cape Ann, especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
