Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Visit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.com Dating to 1937 and an era before the environmental damage wrought by fishermen was well understood, "Killers of the Sea" was produced by Edward L. Alperson. It features Capt. Wallace Caswell, Jr., who became famous for killing various "dangerous" sea creatures by hand, either by using a knife or by thrusting his arms in their gills, drowning them.
