Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Eloquent, accurate portrayal of the American whaling industry as it existed for almost two centuries, this superb account of a whaling voyage is dramatically captured in 64 plates of the author's illustrations. The entire art and craft of whaling is depicted—from the sight of a whale breaching and and a thrilling version of a "Nantucket sleigh ride" to views of the foc's'le, galley, and deck and examples of scrimshaw art.
