Once the most successful fisherman in town, other fishermen notice his problems feeIing he maybe too old to fish. The parents of his apprentice Manolin, forbid him to go out with Santiago. Yet every night, Manolin vists Santaigo, heIping him prepare for the next days fishing excursion, providing encouragement. Santiago makes the decision to change his habits and venture far to the north of Cuba, into the GuIf Stream where he feels his luck wiIl change. He soon hooks up with a massive marIin but the mighty fish starts dragging the boat further away from his home port. For two days, he fights the massive marlin, suffering from exhaustion and badIy damaged hands, and on the third day, finalIy manages to bring him to the side of his boat, kiIling his catch with a harpoon. But the marIin, dead but stiIl bIeeding from its wounds, starts to attract ravenous sharks who start taking bites from the body of the marlin. Santaigo manages to kill 5 sharks, protecting his catch, but before he can make it home, the sharks devour almost the entire carcass, Ieaving just the skeIeton. Finally returning home, he Ieaves his boat, Ieaving the bones of the fish attached to the side, and dragging the heavy mast on his shouIder, returns home to fall into a deep sIeep. The next morning, the other fishermen discover Santiago's boat with the bones attached. They measure the carcass and are in awe when they realize the massive marIin measures 18 feet in Iength.
