Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whaling and Fishing With this volume my story of life at sea is complete. I have endeavored to give a strictly faithful account of the various phases of a sailor's existence. I have borne in mind the usual objec tion to books of this class; that they, are likely to inspire youth with an uneasy longing for a wandering, worthless mode of life. And as my little books were likely to interest young men and boys, my aim has been to give a plain com mon sense picture of that about which a false romance throws many charms. If anything I have written on this subject shall induce a young man, launching into life, to make a sensible choice of evils, by looking elsewhere than to the Sea for the adventurous existence which his Spirit requires, I Shall be rewarded.

Between the extremes of this large family are many and great variations: some whales are toothed, others are tooth less; Some are Shy, others are fierce and malicious. But the greatest difference is in size, for the whale family, as zoologists see it, includes dolphins and porpoises, thus ranging in length from two to more than a hundred feet, though, in the popular mind, the whale is synonymous with great size, and has been from very ancient days. Pliny reported, in the Indian sea the fish called balaena, or whirlpool, so long and broad as to take up more length and breadth than two acres of ground. Olaus Magnus, too, was very generous in measurements, giving nine hundred and sixty feet to certain hirsute whales. Even by actual measurements the whale remains the largest of living creatures and the largest that ever has lived, not except ing the dinosaur.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the American Whale Fishery Whaling was once a great industry in the United States. Whole communities were dependent on its success. When voyages were successful there was prosperity and plenty. When voyages failed there was hardship and hunger. Fortunes were made and lost. The foundation of many a stately old mansion in New England rests on oil and bone. But whaling was not a passing boom, not a thing apart from all other interests, not local in nature and local in effect. Its inﬂuence as a social and economic factor was widespread. Whaling was a unit in a great whole - a part of the vast industrial interests of a growing country. It is so no longer. Whal ing is practically dead. The almost complete cycle of whaling activity is a good lesson in economics - the lesson of a ﬂourishing enterprise quickly wiped out by changing economic conditions. The history of whaling forms an important chapter in the commercial history of the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He was born in New Bedford and educated in its schools; he was of Quaker extraction, and his people for two generations before him were engaged in the enterprise which made New Bedford historic. His own knowledge of that enterprise was gleaned not entirely from original but always from reliable sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Whale Fisheries: From the Basque Fisheries of the Tenth Century to the Hunting of the Finner Whale at the Present Date Necessarily some of the subject-matter is only of interest to the specialist, but whaling is so unique in many respects - in the romance of the life of the whalers, and in the natural history of one of the most remarkable groups of living creatures - that even detailed studies of the subject are not without interest. The romance of the whalers' life can only be realised by a perusal of the original writings of the whalers. In this book the main facts of the progress of the whaling trade have been marshalled. In many, if not in most cases, these facts speak for themselves. If within the next few decades whaling is not become entirely extinct, owing to the practical disappearance from the seas of the globe of the animals whose presence is necessary to its continued existence, it is imperative that further steps should be taken to regulate the industry by international action. Otherwise a most interesting group of marine animals will be hunted to the verge of extinction, and a great natural asset rendered Worthless to enrich a small group of speculators and capitalists. This book has been written in the h0pe that, before it is too late, steps will be taken to control this ruthless destruction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the American Whale Fishery From Its Earliest Inception to the Year 1876 The difficulties in the way of collection of historical notes increase greatly with the lapse of years. 'newspapers, which must always be considered, where they exist, inval uable aids in the prosecution of such matters, pass from the possession of the very few who, when living, treasured them, and fall into the hands of those who only value them at so many cents per pound. Those who were the actors in the scenes which it is desired to describe die, and with them perishes the source of the information, which ultimately, in the form of tradition, becomes too distorted to be available. In the matter of the whale-fishery still another formidable difficulty is met with, in the absence or destruction of customs-records. During the Revolution many ports were under Eu glish control, and very often with the departure of the British also departed the custom house papers. In other ports, notably New Bedford and Nantucket, these records have been destroyed by fire. Still again in yet other ports, notably Sag Harbor, mildew and decay have obliterated the writing.
