The Whale's Wake. This lively account of Southwest Pacific whaling discusses the whales, whalers, whaling techniques, equipment, ships, crews, uses for whale products, and whaling from shore stations. Beyond the fascinating descriptions of whaling, the author places the industry in its social context to show the role that whaling and whalemen played in early 19th century New Zealand development. A new emphasis is given to the importance of British whaling in the area, which led eventually to British settlement and to New Zealand becoming a British colony. Weight 0.9 g Size 252 mm by 163 mm.
