Description

At the same time as Nantucket has long enjoyed an illustrious position in The us’s whaling history, Cape Cod’s contribution to the industry is fairly unknown. Yet, it was once a Cape Codder who taught the Nantucketers hunt whales. In Cape Cod Shore Whaling, authors Duncan Oliver and John Braginton-Smith uncover Cape Cod’s integral role in shaping whalefishery, which started along the Cape’s sandy shores and evolved into the a ways-flung whaling expeditions that drove Nantucket’s economy into the nineteenth century. Drawing on rare documents never before printed, whaling journals, and diaries, Oliver and Braginton-Smith recreate a bygone age when men fought one some other for rights to the ocean.
