{"product_id":"cape-cod-shore-whaling-john-braginton-smith-9781596294295","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 1596294299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596294295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\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 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.77h x 6.83w x 0.28d","brand":"John Braginton-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365412663551,"sku":"9781596294295","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d99c0b66-dc2a-4451-aaa0-2ea4122087c3.jpg?v=1697058380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cape-cod-shore-whaling-john-braginton-smith-9781596294295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
