About this book

58 Degrees North: The Mysterious Sinking of the Arctic Rose by Kugiya, Hugo. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781596910959.

In the spring of 2001, an industrial fishing trawler went down in the icy waters just below the Arctic Circle, with its position last recorded at 58 degrees north. The Arctic Rose sank so abruptly that there was not even time to put on survival suits or call for help, and all fifteen men aboard were killed. Hugo Kugiyas book is a powerful story of adventure and disaster, illuminating how the modern industrial fishing industry gave rise to these fifteen young mens dangerous and strangely archaic life, and tracing the Coast Guard investigation into what really sank the Arctic Rose.
