Whale Hunt: The Narrative of a Voyage by Nelson Cole Haley is a first-hand account of a harpooner's experiences on the ship Charles W. Morgan during a whaling voyage from 1849 to 1853. The book details the daily life of a whaler, including the dangerous and grueling work of hunting and processing whales for their valuable oil and blubber. Haley also provides insight into the social dynamics of life on board a whaling ship, including the relationships between crew members and the interactions with indigenous peoples encountered along the way. The book offers a unique perspective on the history of whaling and the impact it had on both the whales and the people involved in the industry. Overall, Whale Hunt provides a fascinating and detailed glimpse into a bygone era of maritime history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
