Johnny O'Shea

Johnny O'Shea was a fisherman in Boston, Massachusetts in the early 1940s. When he wasn't fishing, he drank like a fish. This led him to miss the occasional fishing trip although the fishing captains continued to sign him on because he was a good fisherman when sober.

One trip he missed was on the Sweet Sue when she was machine gunned by a British navel fighter. This did not deter him and he showed up for the Sue's next trip.
