That sentiment, expressed by a foremast hand aboard the ship Caroline in 1843, is one shared by many of the whalemen in this fascinating book. Interest in Herman Melville's Moby Dick has contributed to a substantial literature on the history and lore of the industry. But not until now has the vast body of surviving whaleship logs and journals been used to paint an encompassing picture of the difficult but colorful life aboard nineteenth-century American whaling vessels.BritonWhalers (Persons)United StatesSocial life and customsWhalers (Persons)United StatesBiographyWhalingUnited StatesHistory19th centuryElectronic books.Whalers (Persons)Social life and customs.Whalers (Persons)WhalingHistory305.9/6392Busch Briton Cooper910948MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460457803321Whaling will never do for me2462009UNINA
