Tim Blue

Whale Hunters of the West (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For half a century, West Australians vied with vast sailing fleets from the United States and France in the global hunt for whales. Seas offshore from the southern and western coasts were scoured for right, humpback and sperm whales, for oil to illuminate homes and lubricate machinery. Whale Hunters of the West collects the logbooks, letters and early newspapeers to reveal a brutal yet vital trade for early settlers.
