Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The Azores are an island nation where historically whaling was an essential way of life. But modern times have brought an end to whaling - until two young American apprentice boat builders arrived in the Azores in 1998. With local boat builders, they helped to revive the whale boat building industry and whale hunting. This beautifully illustrated volume gives a history of the Azores whaling industry and the process of building their traditional whaling boats and how they hunt the whale. Profusely illustrated with full-color and black and white illustrations.
