A story of the remarkable tough and determined Collinsworth family who battle, against all the odds, to keep their struggling fishing business both solvent and as a family business. The Collinsworth Fish Company and the individual family members face a constant barrage of serious troubles from many different angles - and from a wild North Sea. By a casual - was it unplanned? - meeting in The Fishermen`s Rest con men try to rob the company and the individuals of their little cash. Ebenezer Collinsworth is caught in their intrigue and goes to prison. His mother - Florence - is the lover of the boss of a rival fishing company and endeavours to obtain for him a majority in the family firm. She dies and leaves him her fifty per cent of the shares in Collinsworth Fish Company. This creates a bitter battle between him and the Collinsworths.Read how hard work, a little bit of luck and a marriage that introduces the family to a multi-millionaire, who becomes (until divorce) the father-in-law to a Collinsworth, take the business from a "one ship business" in the 1920`s to one of the leading fishing businesses in the UK - and the Collinsworth family retain a majority holding in the company with the balance of the ownership in friendly hands.
