"The Voyage of the F.H. Moore" and Other 19th Century Whaling Accounts

"The Voyage of the F.H. Moore" and Other 19th Century Whaling Accounts

John Ross Browne
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In 1873, 21-year-old Sam Williams embarked on a whaling journey on the two-masted F.H. Moore--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.
Complementing this are excerpts from three other accounts of whaling voyages: Incidents of a Whaling Voyage by Francis Allyn Olmstead ; Etchings of a Whaling Cruise by J. Ross Browne , an expose of the whaling industry; and The Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories by Capt. Charles Henry Robbins , 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.
