The Trawler is a novel written by James B. Connolly and published in 1914. The story takes place on a fishing trawler in the North Atlantic and follows the crew as they brave the harsh conditions of the sea and battle against the elements to bring in a successful catch.

The boy looked sidewise out to where in the bay a fleet of battle-ships were lying to anchor.

A most impressive assembly of men-o'-war it was, in tonnage and weight of metal the greatest ever floated by the waters of the western hemisphere. The last of the fleet had arrived on the night before. From the bluffs along the shore they might have been seen approaching with a mysterious play of lights across the shadowy waters. In the morning they were all there.
