Whale hunting with gun and camera - A naturalist's account of the modern shore-whaling industry, of whales and their habits, and of hunting experiences in various parts of the world

Although the commercial products of whales have contributed largely to the comfort and welfare of the civilized world for over a thousand years, never have the animals been of greater economic importance than they are today. It is true that the magnificent fleet of ships which had its birth in the New England States has passed away, and that the smoke of cotton-mills now drifts over the famous old city of New Bedford where once the harbor was filled with the towering masts of scores of whaling vessels. But as one chapter of whaling history closed another opened and the scene shifted to Norway where Tnsberg, a little city in Christiania Bay, has become the Alpha and Omega of the modern whaling alphabet. It was there, in 1864, that Svend Foyn invented the harpoon-gun and brought into existence the sturdy 2little steamships which were destined to take the place of New Englands fleet, destroyed by the Confederate raiders during the Civil War. Although despised by the deep-water whalers of New Bedford, nevertheless shore whaling has rapidly grown into a world industry which today, in the height of its prosperity, yields a revenue of nearly $70,000,000 a year. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
