Whaling and Fishing

&quote;Whaling and Fishing&quote; 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: &quote;Whalemen Wanted!&quote;, &quote;A Whaling Shipping Office&quote;, &quote;The Man-of-Wars-Man&quote;, &quote;The Merchant Seaman&quote;, &quote;The Whale-man&quote;, &quote;Talk with the Shipper&quote;, &quote;I Determine on a Whaling Cruise&quote;, &quote;New Bedford&quote;, &quote;The Town&quote;, &quote;The Wharves&quote;, &quote;The Shipping Office&quote;, &quote;Prospective Whalemen&quote;, &quote;Old Bill&quote;, &quote;The Outfit&quote; 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.
