Whale Hunt, first published in 1948, is a first-hand account of a whaling voyage during the mid-1800s. Author Nelson Cole Haley, harpooner on the ship Charles W. Morgan, details daily life on board the ship, dangers and challenges faced by the crew, interactions with natives, and the process of hunting and processing whales. Haley also describes the various ports-of-call the ship visited during the voyage, including the Azores, Cape Verde, and the Falkland Islands. Included are 18 pages of pen and ink drawings.
