The summer of 1942 was one of the largest salmon runs the San Juan Islands had ever seen. Fishermen from Gig Harbor, Washington, all made the annual trek north to fish the Salmon Banks. Two of those seiners were the Avalon and the Phyllis T. This picture book, featuring paintings by Jesse Joshua Watson, provides a fictional retelling of that fateful day when the Phyllis T was filled to the decks with salmon and went down off Cattle Point, San Juan Island. The book also includes non-fiction back matter and historic photos that detail the recovery of the Phyllis T, and a special section on the five Pacific Northwest salmon species.
