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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from There She Blows: A Whaling Yarn Whalers were a breed of seadog differing from the present type of sailorman as much as a Collie does from an Upland Scotch stag hound, and while I freely admit the present generation to be in many ways an improve ment on their predecessors of fifty years back, I maintain that the men who sailed out of New Bedford, Nantucket, and Sag Harbor in the forties possessed a toughness of sinew and energy of mindjt would be difficult to parallel in the present era.

Download or read book Whaling Classic Reprint written by Charles Boardman Hawes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 388 pages. 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 The Young Ice Whalers "I will do what I can to help make matters easy, father." The speaker was a handsome, well-built boy of seventeen, with a frank, winsome face that ordinarily showed neither strength nor weakness of character, - the face of a boy out of whom circumstances make much that is good, or sometimes much that is ill, according to what experiences life brings him. There are boys who will grow up strong and able men, anyway. They seem to have it in them from the start. There are others who have an inborn tendency to evil and dissipation, which no amount of training and opportunity for better things can eradicate.

Download or read book The Old Whaling Days written by Robert McNab and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 floarish 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 The Boys' Book of Whalers The yacht, on which Harry was cruising, was tacking across the mouth of Buzzard's Bay and the ship which had attracted his attention was coming out of the Bay before the brisk northerly wind. Her dingy patched sails were bellying out like dun-colored balloons; a little mountain of white water was about her high, bluff bows and her lofty sides towered, like the walls of a house, far above the green waves. Her low, stout masts, immensely long and heavy spars, uptilted bow sprit and ornate ngure-head gave her a very ancient appearance, and through his glasses, Harry had noticed that her davits were crude wooden affairs, and that there were numerous boats swinging from them.
