Its once-prosperous fishermen now struggle with government regulations and fished-out seas, while its empty factories now offer more work to the Fire Department than anyone else. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDown at the Docks\u003c\/i\u003e, Rory Nugent tells the \"riches to rags\" story of this iconic American town through beautifully told and unsentimental portraits of its residents. Their lives inform a eulogy to the distinctive ideas, traditions, and culture that is about to disappear from the waterfront.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Anchor","offers":[{"title":"Down at the Docks | Rory Nugent | Paperback | 9780385720137 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks I 1731635","offer_id":48167929118872,"sku":"1731635","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81-8U7r4NlL.jpg?v=1771958399","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/down-at-the-docks","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
