ALMOST 100 people gathered at the Shetland Museum’s boat hall on Thursday night to listen to tales from John Goodlad’s new book The Cod Hunters.

More about Goodlad’s new book on an almost forgotten period of Shetland’s rich fishing history, which saw locals head to waters around Faroe and Iceland in the 19th century, can be found at http://www.shetnews.co.uk/news/16292-new-book-revives-memories-of-cod-hunters
