Using detailed and comprehensive data that describe more than four thousand whaling voyages from New Bedford, Massachusetts, the leading nineteenth-century whaling port, the authors explore the market for whale products, crew quality and labor contracts, and whale biology and distribution, and assess the productivity of the American fleet. They then examine new whaling techniques developed at the end of the nineteenth century, such as modified clippers and harpoons, and the introduction of darting guns. Despite the common belief that the whaling industry declined due to a fall in whale stocks, the authors argue that the industry's collapse was related to changes in technology and market conditions. Providing a wealth of historical information, In Pursuit of Leviathan is a classic industry study that will provide intriguing reading for anyone interested in the history of whaling. 410 0$aNBER series on long-term factors in economic development. 606 $aWhaling$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aWhaling$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aWhaling$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aWhaling$xHistory 676 $a338.3/7295/097309034 700 $aDavis$b Lance E$g(Lance Edwin)$0118703 701 $aGallman$b Robert E$0140609 701 $aGleiter$b Karin$0145547 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956280903321 996 $aIn pursuit of Leviathan$94352264 997 $aUNINA
