In June 1991, the Ocean Hound sank in thick fog just off the Dover coast, taking all five members of her crew with her. This was not the first time during 1991 that a fishing ship from Brixham Harbor in England sank. During the first six months of 1991, more than thirty fishers were lost. Fishing is always a dangerous occupation, but something different was happening. About the same number of fishers died during the entire years of 1990 and 1989 as died during the first six months of 1991. No single cause appears to underlie the doubling of the death rate during 1991. “But on the docks of Brixham and other ports along the rugged coast of southwest England, there is talk that growing competition in the fishing grounds and hard economic times at home may be forcing some fishers to take more chances with weather and their boats” (New York Times, 13 Se tember 1991).
