Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Whaling Days: A History of Southern New Zealand From 1830 to 1840 In connection with the American whalers, another source of information has proved valuable. Great numbers of their logs have been preserved, and have been examined by the Author in the libraries of the Historical Societies which ourish up and down the eastern coast Of the United States, from Salem to Washington. The best log found - that of the Mary Mitchell, in the rooms of the Nantucket Historical Society - has been published as an Appendix. And its perusal should prove extremely interesting. It is, however, unique among logs, because, when the whaling trade grew to huge dimensions in the United States, men of little education Obtained commands, and their entries were often exhausted, when the weather, the position Of the vessel, and the number of whales killed, had been recorded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whalers and Whaling Down at the wharves of New Bedford, Massachusetts, there is a collection of the queerest looking Old ships, which instantly attract your notice. SO quaint, and so entirely unlike any craft one sees afloat nowadays, that you know in a minute they must be the Old Whalers that used to make such perilous voyages, and have such thrilling adventures fifty years ago. There they lie, - these old heroes, - huddled together in a group, as though to keep each other company and talk over the days of their youth, when they were the pride and glory of New Bedford.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whaling Yet verily, there is more to the Whale than appears on the surface. Between the extremes of this large family are many and great variations: some whales are toothed, others are tooth less; Some are Shy, others are fierce and malicious. But the greatest difference is in size, for the whale family, as zoologists see it, includes dolphins and porpoises, thus ranging in length from two to more than a hundred feet, though, in the popular mind, the whale is synonymous with great size, and has been from very ancient days. Pliny reported, in the Indian sea the fish called balaena, or whirlpool, so long and broad as to take up more length and breadth than two acres of ground. Olaus Magnus, too, was very generous in measurements, giving nine hundred and sixty feet to certain hirsute whales. Even by actual measurements the whale remains the largest of living creatures and the largest that ever has lived, not except ing the dinosaur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whaling and Fishing With this volume my story of life at sea is complete. I have endeavored to give a strictly faithful account of the various phases of a sailor's existence. I have borne in mind the usual objec tion to books of this class; that they, are likely to inspire youth with an uneasy longing for a wandering, worthless mode of life. And as my little books were likely to interest young men and boys, my aim has been to give a plain com mon sense picture of that about which a false romance throws many charms. If anything I have written on this subject shall induce a young man, launching into life, to make a sensible choice of evils, by looking elsewhere than to the Sea for the adventurous existence which his Spirit requires, I Shall be rewarded.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories I have for many years wondered that the romantic and exciting experiences of the whale fishery have not been preserved more often in records in our literature. Occa sionally we have had sketches of one or another detail in this marvellous adventure. But it would seem as if the brave men who engage in such adventure handle harpoons more willingly than they handle pens. And so you shall hear many a story of such adventure told by men who Speak of what they have seen, while you do not read one such story. I was very glad, therefore, to hear that Capt. Charles H. Robbins had put to paper some accounts of his own earlier experiences, and that he has been persuaded to publish them; and to say to any friend of mine' that he may place confident reliance on the narrative of Capt. Robbins, as being that of one who tells of what he saw, of which indeed he was much himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
