(Pedro Denton's book was first published in 1998 and is in its second printing. It is available through Amazon.com. The paintings below are only a very few of the beautiful and awe-inspiring scenes from this beautiful book, which also serves as a study guide to fishing, and especially commercial fishing, as well as to boats and their design and function.)
From the 'Welcome' in his book, "Boats of Alaska" by Pedro Denton: "Come, take a cruise with Helen and me on the fishing vessel Helen L. through paintings, sketches and words in this book. We'll cast of the lines tying us to shore and take you along the coast of Alaska from southeast to the Bering Sea. You'll see beautiful sights and we'll tell you all about the commercial fishing boats we see along the way. We'll see them in actual operation and we'll explain what they are doing and how they do it. You'll not only learn how Alaska seafood, the world's best, gets to the table, but you'll add to your knowledge and enjoyment of Alaska's sea coast."
