Spanish flu caused widespread suffering throughout the state in 1918 and some other fishermen chose to sit this season.
"I never felt more reluctant to leave New York," said Christopher Nicolson in the newspaper. "I am not as concerned about my own family as much as my enlarged family and the community I'm coming.
