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 Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Old Whaling Days For the complete equipment of an Arctic whaler. There are words, too, used in the times dealt with, which do not find a place in the English dictionary of to-day, and it is hoped, therefore, that the information which is given in these pages, will be found full of interest, not only to the uninitiated, but to those who may remember their own experiences in whaling. Thankful for my own escapes in early life, I would beg to lay this narrative before the general public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
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 Description
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.

Book Description
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.
