Book excerpt: The whaler Citizen left New Bedford, Massachusetts, on October 29, 1851, for what was to be a three- or four-year voyage to North Pacific. After rounding East Cape (today known as Cape Dezhnev), the northeastern-most point on the mainland of Asia, and entering the Arctic Ocean, the vessel was wrecked in a storm on September 25, 1852. Five members of the crew were lost in the gale. The other 33 men made it to shore, where they were kept alive for nine months by local people, Yupik Eskimos inhabiting this sparsely populated region of Chukotka, Siberia. The Arctic Whaleman; or, Winter in the Arctic Ocean is an account of the ordeal of the crew of the Citizen, written by Lewis Holmes, a clergyman from Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, based mainly on an oral account of the voyage given to him by Thomas Howes Norton, also of Edgartown, captain of the Citizen. The book has 15 illustrations and includes notes on the native people of the region, including their methods of hunting whales, their huts, manner of preparing food, customs, language, and so forth. The surviving crewmembers of the Citizen finally were rescued by two New England whalers on July 4, 1853. The book concludes with a brief history of the whaling industry. The heyday of the American whaling industry was from 1820 to 1850, when American whalers accounted for 652 vessels in the worldwide whaling fleet of about 882 ships. New Bedford was the leading whaling port, followed by Fairhaven, Massachusetts, Nantucket, Massachusetts, and New London, Connecticut. Whaling in the Arctic Ocean began in 1848, when the bark Superior of Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York, first passed through the Bering Strait to hunt the bowhead whale. Within three years, 250 ships, mostly from New England, had made whaling voyages to the seas north of Siberia and Alaska.

Download or read book Whaling Will Never Do For Me written by Briton Cooper Busch and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I just begin to find out that whaling will never do for me and have determined to leave the ship here if possible." 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. Briton Cooper Busch, author of a definitive history of the American sealing industry, in this book only incidentally discusses the actual chase for whales. His focus instead is the life of whalemen at sea, and particularly the harsh discipline that kept men aboard through long and often dispiriting years. Busch depicts the complex social world aboard ship, defining and detailing such issues as crime and punishment, competing racial elements, the social distance between officers and men, sexual behavior, and the role of women aboard ships. For oppressed, discouraged, or simply bored whalemen, several escapes existed, from the rarest of all mutiny through labor protests of various types, to individual desertion or appeal to an American consul abroad. To each of these topics Busch devotes a chapter. He also provides glimpses of those occasional moments of relief such as a Fourth of July celebration and such somber moments as a death at sea. Fascinating details and original quotations from individual whalemen make this book more than a study of general trends. For anyone with even a casual interest in whaling, it is indispensable.
