The Boys' Book of Whalers - Paperback

by A. Hyatt Verrill (Author)

This history of American whaling, told in story format by an old Uncle to his nephews as they cruise past an old-style sailing whaler, was meant to inspire boys to go into the whaling trade. The detailed information on ships and the old-fashioned whaling trade is fascinating for modern readers. One of the last of its kind.
