  • 36 Sam Sam Polk is a gentle lobsterman from the Jonesport-Beals Island area who has fished more years than most people manage to stay alive. At age 89, he tells about his love for the sea.
  • 45 ‘When You’re Married to a Fisherman...’ Four fishermen’s wives tell about experiences that can only happen if you’re married to a fisherman. The four are Maggie Griffin of Kennebunkport, Betty Hammond of Harrington, Dot Ridlon of Cape Porpoise, and Debbie Gott of Kennebunk, all of Maine.

  • 61 ‘Go Back Home, Senabeh’ Senabeh, medicine man of the Penobscot Indians of Maine, is caught in a painful dilemma. He must make his last stand “alongside my peoples,” but they are essentially alien to him. In nine hours of interviews he defines his lonely Indianhood.
