Moore\" and Other 19th Century Whaling Accounts","description":"\u003cp\u003e   In 1873, 21-year-old Sam Williams embarked on a whaling journey on the two-masted \u003ci\u003eF.H. Moore\u003c\/i\u003e--he steered one of the boats and threw the harpoon. He kept a personal log and reworked it into this never-before-published manuscript, now supplemented by additional research and relevant excerpts of the ship's official logbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Complementing this are excerpts from three other accounts of whaling voyages: \u003ci\u003eIncidents of a Whaling Voyage\u003c\/i\u003e by Francis Allyn Olmstead (1841); \u003ci\u003eEtchings of a Whaling Cruise\u003c\/i\u003e by J. Ross Browne (1846), an expose of the whaling industry; and \u003ci\u003eThe Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories\u003c\/i\u003e by Capt. Charles Henry Robbins (1899), a personal story of nearly an entire life at sea. The four accounts open the 19th century world of whaling to modern readers in a realistic and unromantic way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54177294778712,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786478668_45933a87-936b-412b-8daa-af40503bed91.jpg?v=1764507639","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-voyage-of-the-f-h-moore-and-other-19th-century-whaling-accounts","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
