Book excerpt: All but forgotten, buyboats served for nearly a century throughout the Bay region as floating middlemen buying fresh catch off smaller workboats and whisking it away to customers on the shore. Chowning preserves a fading way of life, the vessels that powered it, and the voices of those who worked it.
