Seeking Whales in Every Ocean
Whaling was an important economic enterprise in the Colonial era and
quickly expanded to the Pacific after American Independence. The sheer
number of Yankee ships and men involved in the industry in the 19th century
gives an indication of the impact of the business on whale populations, on
local cultural practices, and on island ecosystems: more than 2500 New
England vessels made some 12,000 voyages to the Pacific with over 300,000
men on board. One of the best-documented U.S. industries in the 19th
century, whale hunters left a record of environmental change, as well as an
enduring legacy of art and literature.
