Infos

"e;Whaling and Fishing"e; offers the reader an authentic glimpse into the life of a sailor, attempting to dispel the romance often attributed to it by exploring both what may be enjoyed and what must be endured. Based on the author own experience as a whaler, this volume is recommended for those with an interest in the maritime history and of whaling in particular, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of angling literature. Contents include: "e;Whalemen Wanted!"e;, "e;A Whaling Shipping Office"e;, "e;The Man-of-Wars-Man"e;, "e;The Merchant Seaman"e;, "e;The Whale-man"e;, "e;Talk with the Shipper"e;, "e;I Determine on a Whaling Cruise"e;, "e;New Bedford"e;, "e;The Town"e;, "e;The Wharves"e;, "e;The Shipping Office"e;, "e;Prospective Whalemen"e;, "e;Old Bill"e;, "e;The Outfit"e; etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with that in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
