They all had the same stare. These men also will have the same stare for many moons too. No fun.

That's exactly what I've read - this one author described how the entire time people were either apathetic or at each other's throats.
It's strange how the fish processors seem to keep getting it, despite being so large. There's this latest vessel, the "Enterprise", and I think there was a third one that burned out several years ago (although most of the crew escaped). Reader's Digest ran a story on it, but I just can't remember the boat's name.
