Book excerpt: It is 1949, and 15-year-old Tyneside boy John Burton has become a whaler. Unhappy at his parents' separation, he finds a job as a galley boy on an oil tanker. Abused by his boss and surviving a near-drowning incident, he returns home with a less idealised view of life at sea. But a year later he joins the giant whale factory ship Southern Venturer. Over the eight-month whaling season he grows up among hardened whalers. Violence is never far away among the 300-strong crew, but it is nothing in comparison to the horror of the whale kill. In sub-zero temperatures the Venturer's crew wade ankle-deep in warm whale blood, climbing whale carcasses in spike-soled, leather thigh-boots to carve them up for processing in what is known as 'hell's kitchen'. Learning who to trust becomes a matter of survival, as the wonders of the sea - in the shape of icebergs, penguins, jelly fish and the whales themselves - present themselves in both deadly and humorous form to the young whaler. As the voyage ends, so too has his 'old' life. Years later he comes to see his whaling experience differently, and questions the carnage of which he was part. Seeing Greenpeace activists on TV, cutting across the bows of Japanese whaling ships, awakens his sense of the injustice of whaling, and leads him to work with Greenpeace. John's experiences as a whaler turned campaigner brings him aboard the Rainbow Warrior. He then finds himself on another journey - to a remote Indonesian island where he meets men who still hand-hunt whale. While there, his mother - the person who pushed him away to sea in the first place - dies, and he returns for her funeral. The family story that started in 1949 has come full circle - with more than just demons and guilt laid to rest. This story is written by one of the few people who can recall first-hand a way of life that was already becoming history in the early 1960s, and as such, is unlikely ever to be told ever again.

Download or read book We Are All Whalers written by Michael J. Moore and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Marine scientist Michael J. Moore says we are all whalers, but we don't have to be. Eating fish leads to North Atlantic right whales' entanglement and death. Buying goods made around the world requires global shipping routes, which do not accurately consider right whale breeding and feeding sites, leading to collision. To explain this, Moore conveys to readers scenes from over thirty years' worth of fieldwork, performing whale necropsies for animals stranded on beaches, working as an independent researcher alongside whalers using explosive harpoons, and tracking injured pregnant whales to deliver antibiotics. Despite these sometimes disturbing experiences, Moore has written a hopeful book. He uses these stories to show we can change and to tell us how; the technology for rope-less fishing and tracking whale migrations already exist to protect both right whales and the people who depend on shipping and fishing for their livelihoods"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of what was Britain's leading whaling port. Today, Dundee captains and the city's whaling fleet have a permanent place in the geography of the world. Cape Adams, Cape Milne, Artic Bay and Eclipse Sound recall an era when the city's stoutly built ships, manned by heroic adventurers, discovered new routes, made new friends, but seldom sailed far from danger. In Dundee itself, streets such as Whale Lane and Baffin Street serve as reminders of an era in which Dundee dominated the whaling grounds. Moreover, the Dundee fleet has excelled as polar exploration ships, providing vessels for Captain Scott, Ernest Shackleton and Admiral Byrd, leaving a permanent reminder of the city's historic role at Dundee Island, Antarctica. An appendix lists all the ships and their captains.
