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.
