Book excerpt: Four Years Aboard the Whaleship is a first-hand account of a voyage to the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans in search of the sperm and right whales. The account is by William B. Whitecar, Jr., a Philadelphian who signed on as a common sailor on the New Bedford whaler Barque Pacific. It is based on a detailed journal, which the author kept, as he explains in his preface, "at sea, on a sailor's chest, amongst seamen, by night and by day, amid storm and calm...." The book offers a vivid picture of life at sea, as well as observations on locations on land that the ship passed or stopped at, including the Azores, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, and numerous islands in the Pacific. Written just a few years after Herman Melville's literary classic of 1851, Moby-Dick: or The Whale, the book touches upon many of the same topics and themes that Melville covers in his great work of fiction: the long hours at sea, the diversity of the whaling crews and the international character of the whaling industry, "gammoning" with other whaleships at sea, the dangers of the hunt, and the death of fellow crewmen at sea. In his concluding chapter, under the heading "Advice to Landsmen," the author concludes, perhaps somewhat tongue in cheek, by "advising all young men who can gain a livelihood ashore, to stay at home." As arguments against whaling, he cites the low pay (which he calculates at about a dollar a month, after expenses are deducted and the gains from the sale of the barrels of oil apportioned among the crew and ship's owners), and the drudgery of much of the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Board a Whaler: An Adventurous Cruise Through Southern Seas N the spring of 1868, while yet a boy in my eighteenth year, I was living at Mattapoisett, on the shores of Buzzard's Bay. My ancestors were among the founders of the Plymouth colony, and many of them had at some previous time been engaged in the whale fishery. A considerable eet of whalers had once sailed from our little port; but during the Civil War the rebel Alabama captured and burned most of it, and the industry was fast becoming a tradition among us. There were, how ever, still many retired seamen living in the town who were fond of relating their experiences, and my first and most pleasing recollections are of tales told by them.

Download or read book The Last Voyage of the Whaling Bark Progress written by Daniel Gifford and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The whaling bark Progress was a New Bedford ship transformed into a whaling museum for Chicago's 1893 world's fair. Traversing waterways across North America, the whaleship enthralled crowds from Montreal to Racine. Her ultimate fate, however, was to be a failed sideshow of marine curiosities and a metaphor for a dying industry out of step with Gilded Age America. This book uses the story of the Progress to detail the rise, fall, and eventual demise of the whaling industry in America. The legacy of this whaling bark can be found throughout New England and Chicago, and invites questions about what it means to transform a dying industry into a museum piece.
