Women in Fishing Families

Working Waterfront Festival

For generations, women have been part of New England's fishing culture -- not only fishing themselves, but as mothers, daughters, and wives of fishermen.    On The Point with Mindy Todd, we look at a project that opens up a window to the lives, hard work, fears, and joys of women involved in fishing.  Our guests include participants in the Portholes Project, part of the New Bedford Working Waterfront Festival.
