Description

This full color 320 page book is about what many consider to be the most famous fleet of fishing boats in the United States, The Viking Fleet. Five generations of Forsberg's have been involved in building the fleet, including the current patriarch's grandfather who designed all of the original Viking Boats for his son, Captain Carl G. Forsberg. Captain Carl pioneered fishing on the fabled Cox's Ledge grounds. He discovered and fished on many wrecks that no angler had ever fished on before. His son, Captain Paul G. (our author) found the wreck of the Andrea Doria after searching for it for 72 hours. He found many other wrecks and his sons and grandsons continue to do the same thing. He brought 520 Cubans to freedom in the famous Cuban Boat Lift, including all of the people that were in the American Embassy. Paul invented the first heated handrail for the comfort of his anglers.
