In Ernest Hemingway’s famous novel “The Old Man and The Sea,” we have a protagonist, a fisherman with the same name in Spanish as James of Zebedee in The Bible, Santiago.
Hemingway's personal experiences also served to nurture the narrative about the adventures of old James.
As we know, Hemingway was the first person on record to be able to catch a giant tuna without bites. Known in English as "apple-coring," sharks bite tuna when it's tired of being fished. His technique was to keep a constant pressure on the tuna.
This photograph shows Hemingway with fisherman Henry 'Mike' Strater and the remains of a 500-pound marlin. It was estimated to have weighed 1,000 pounds if it had been intact, had the sharks not attacked. When getting ready to fish, Hemingway used the Thompson machine gun to try and keep the sharks away. Contrary to prediction, shark blood attracted even more sharks, further damaging the marlin.
The state of the fish recalls the end of the needle in "The Old Man and the Sea" and should have been remembered by Hemingway, along with references from the fishermen of Cojimar. The fact upset Strater, who thought firing those shots cost him the catch of the day.
On the other hand, another feat by Hemingway at this time was to set a world record by catching seven marlin in a single day in 1938. Kuva vähem
