Produktinformationen zu „"The Voyage of the F.H. Moore" and Other 19th Century Whaling Accounts (ePub)“
In 1873, 21-year-old Sam Williams embarked on a whaling journey on the two-masted F.H. Moore—he steered one of the smaller boats and when in range threw the harpoon. During the 16-month voyage, he kept a personal log and later reworked it into this never-before-published manuscript, now supplemented by additional research and relevant excerpts of the official logbook of the ship. Complementing this are excerpts from three other accounts of whaling voyages: Incidents of a Whaling Voyage by Francis Allyn Olmstead (1841), the oldest in this collection; Etchings of a Whaling Cruise by J. Ross Browne (1846), an expose of the whaling industry; and The Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories by Capt. Charles Henry Robbins (1899), a personal story of nearly an entire life at sea. The four accounts open the 19th century world of whaling to modern readers in a realistic and unromantic way and illuminate the current worldwide debate on whaling.
