Maine fisherman and author Linda Greenlaw has been convicted on charges of illegally fishing in Canadian waters.
The verdict against Greenlaw was delivered May 30 in provincial court in St. John’s by Judge Joseph Woodrow. She’ll be sentenced June 9.
Greenlaw, who’s 48, was arrested last September when her vessel, Sea Hawk, crossed Canada’s 200-mile limit and was boarded by fisheries officers. The prosecution is seeking a $50,000 fine, plus catch seized. The defense is recommending a lesser fine.
Greenlaw is best known for having survived the so-called Perfect Storm of 1991 and was the last person in contact with the Andrea Gail, a swordfish boat out of Gloucester, Mass., that sank with all hands.
