Book Synopsis Captain Ahab Had a Wife by : Lisa Norling
Download or read book Captain Ahab Had a Wife written by Lisa Norling and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the whaling industry in New England sent hundreds of ships and thousands of men to distant seas on voyages lasting up to five years. In Captain Ahab Had a Wife, Lisa Norling taps a rich vein of sources--including women's and men's letters and diaries, shipowners' records, Quaker meeting minutes and other church records, newspapers and magazines, censuses, and city directories--to reconstruct the lives of the "Cape Horn widows" left behind onshore. Norling begins with the emergence of colonial whalefishery on the island of Nantucket and then follows the industry to mainland New Bedford in the nineteenth century, tracking the parallel shift from a patriarchal world to a more ambiguous Victorian culture of domesticity. Through the sea-wives' compelling and often poignant stories, Norling exposes the painful discrepancies between gender ideals and the reality of maritime life and documents the power of gender to shape both economic development and individual experience.
Book Synopsis Sea Captain's Daughter by : Cynthia Gallant-Simpson
Download or read book Sea Captain's Daughter written by Cynthia Gallant-Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1850, fourteen year old, Sarah Owen Burgess, daughter of a Nantucket whaling ship captain, took pen in hand to begin a personal journal. What resulted was a history of Nantucket and Nantucketers at the end of an historical period as her beloved island slipped into hard times. When the railroad came to the mainland, making shipment of whale oil and oil products more efficient, New Bedford usurped Nantucket's prosperity leaving the island down on its luck and insecure about the future and Sarah recorded it all. Her inspiration for her role as a woman in a time when women's roles were few were the suffragette and abolitionist, Lucretia Mott and astronomer, Maria Mitchell, also daughters of Nantucket. High sea adventure, exotic ports, romance and, above all, a close-up look at Nantucket history.

So when his older brother Dexter signs aboard the Sea Hawk, Nick won’t stand to be left behind. But life at sea is very different from what either Dexter or Nick expected. They are mercilessly overworked by a cruel and dangerous captain. The officers think nothing of beating the crewmen within an inch of their lives. And that’s only the beginning. When an awful turn of fate leaves them stranded in the harsh Arctic winter, they encounter the toughest battle of all—and this one is for their very survival.
