Joshua Hare Turner, the seasoned fisherman and dedicated boat captain, has spent his life navigating the waters of both literal and metaphorical seas. Born on June 12, 1965, in the coastal town of Rockport, Massachusetts, his life has been defined by the ebb and flow of the ocean, and the challenges and triumphs that come with it. This is the story of a man who found his calling on the water, built a life around it, and became a respected figure in the maritime world.
Growing up in a coastal community, Joshua was exposed to the ocean’s allure from a young age. He spent his childhood by the shore, fishing with his father, learning the ways of the sea, and hearing tales of adventurous voyages. His father, Samuel Turner, was a respected fisherman, and it was under his tutelage that Joshua honed his maritime skills.
