Whaling and Fishing offers the reader an authentic glimpse into the life of a sailor, attempting to dispel the romance often attributed to it by exploring both what may be enjoyed and what must be endured. Based on the author own experience as a whaler, this volume is recommended for those with an interest in the maritime history and of whaling in particular, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of angling literature. Contents include: Whalemen Wanted!, A Whaling Shipping Office, The Man-of-Wars-Man, The Merchant Seaman, The Whale-man, Talk with the Shipper, I Determine on a Whaling Cruise, New Bedford, The Town, The Wharves, The Shipping Office, Prospective Whalemen, Old Bill, The Outfit etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with that in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
