| Summary | "The Deep Sea's Toll" by James B. Connolly is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. This maritime story details the lives and adventures of fishermen from Gloucester, focusing particularly on the crew of the fishing vessel, the "Colleen Bawn", and their interactions with each other. Central characters include the capable Skipper Tom O’Donnell and young Jimmie Johnson, who is struggling with both the challenges of life at sea and personal issues back home. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Peter, who finds himself drawn to the bustling docks amidst a gale. His encounter with fellow dockworker Dexter Warren reveals a sense of community and camaraderie among the fishermen. Their conversation touches on Jimmie, who recently joined the crew of the "Colleen Bawn", hinting at the young man's struggles with his marriage and insecurities as a newcomer. As Peter observes the various vessels coming in, we learn about the perils of fishing life and the character dynamics that will play a crucial role in the stories still to unfold on the turbulent sea.
