{"product_id":"cape-cod-shore-whaling-john-braginton-smith-9781540218506","title":"Cape Cod Shore Whaling: America's First Whalemen","description":"While Nantucket has long enjoyed an illustrious position in America s whaling history, Cape Cod s contribution to the industry is relatively unknown. Yet, it was a Cape Codder who taught the Nantucketers how to hunt whales. In Cape Cod Shore Whaling, authors Duncan Oliver and John Braginton-Smith uncover Cape Cod s integral role in shaping whalefishery, which began along the Cape s sandy shores and evolved into the far-flung whaling expeditions that drove Nantucket s economy into the nineteenth century. Drawing on rare documents never before published, whaling journals, and diaries, Oliver and Braginton-Smith recreate a bygone age when men fought one another for rights to the sea.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Braginton-Smith, Duncan Oliver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540218503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540218506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.38d","brand":"John Braginton-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067326886143,"sku":"9781540218506","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd4e03ab-9800-4e3f-bbfe-efe77a0084b7.jpg?v=1685412564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cape-cod-shore-whaling-john-braginton-smith-9781540218506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
