From the Publisher
A thoroughly researched book which gives a complete picture of the role this fascinating shellfish has played in history, and still plays today wherever it occurs. Sketches of the Bahamian fishery are especially appealing.
From the Author
After spending years sailing in waters where the Queen Conch lives, I began to gather facts and sketches to make a book which would lay to rest some conch myths and give a more complete picture of the life of this remarkable creature.
