SKETCHES AFLOAT WITH THE WHALERS THAT the original deep-water whaling vessels were manned by the men who had built and owned them has already been noted. On the return of such a ship to port the crew received lays or shares, in proportion to the work each had done, and then the remainder of the catch was divided in proportion to the share each owned in the ship. When oil was at its lowest such a crew could live by their fishing, and when it was high they might grow rich. The energetic and ambitious poor man never had a better chance to get on in the world than in the early days of the American whale fishery. Naturally the ambitious poor flocked to the whaling ports, and the population of those ports grew in more ways than one with the growth of the fishery. Thus the ships were then supplied with excellent crews. Later it was necessary for the captains to reach out to the near-by towns to complete their crews. "Captain Isaiah West, now eighty-six years of age, tells me that he remembers when he picked his crew within a radius of sixty miles of New Bedford; that oftentimes he was acquainted, either personally or through report, with the social standing or business standing and qualifications of every man on his vessel, and also that he remembers the first foreigner, an Irishman, that shipped with him, the circumstance being commented upon at that time as being a remarkable one." (James Templeman Brown.) Later still neither the whaling ports nor the near-by towns could furnish men, and the whaler captains perforce applied to the crimps (men who made a business of supplying crews to ships) of all the Atlantic ports for men.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the American Whale Fishery Whaling was once a great industry in the United States. Whole communities were dependent on its success. When voyages were successful there was prosperity and plenty. When voyages failed there was hardship and hunger. Fortunes were made and lost. The foundation of many a stately old mansion in New England rests on oil and bone. But whaling was not a passing boom, not a thing apart from all other interests, not local in nature and local in effect. Its in uence as a social and economic factor was widespread. Whaling was a unit in a great whole - a part of the vast industrial interests of a growing country. It is so no longer. Whal ing is practically dead. The almost complete cycle of whaling activity is a good lesson in economics - the lesson of a ourishing enterprise quickly wiped out by changing economic conditions. The history of whaling forms an important chapter in the commercial history of the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
