Incidents of a Whaling Voyage is a book written by Francis Allyn Olmsted that chronicles his experiences on a whaling voyage. The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes the author's experiences on a whaling ship, including the daily routines of the crew, the dangers they faced, and the excitement of the hunt. The second part of the book provides observations on the scenery, manners, customs, and missionary stations of the Sandwich and Society Islands, which were visited during the voyage. The author provides detailed descriptions of the islands' landscapes, flora and fauna, and the cultures and traditions of the native peoples. The book provides a fascinating insight into the life of a whaler in the mid-19th century and the cultures of the Pacific Islands during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
