The Boys' Book of Whalers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781479433650)

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.
