Synopsis
This book chronicles the whaling industry in New Bedford, Massachusetts from its golden age through decline, as seen through the lives of prominent figures in various walks of life who were affected by its growth and eventual demise. The author draws on original and reliable sources to paint a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs experienced by those who made their living on the sea. Beyond the adventure and daring, the book delves into the complex economic and social forces that shaped the industry, as well as the impact it had on the city of New Bedford. The author explores the social dynamics, folklore, and ethical dilemmas that arose in the community, and challenges romanticized notions of whaling popularized by writers like Herman Melville.

Présentation de l'éditeur
In WH slTB hg ABOUT THE AUTHOR IT seems fitting to introduce the posthumous pieces of Howland Tripp with a brief allusion to his literary labors and his arrested aspirations. He was born in New Bedford and educated in its schools; he was of Quaker extraction, and his people for two generations before him were engaged in the enterprise which made New Bedford historic. His own knowledge of that enterprise was gleaned not entirely from original but always from reliable sources. Books furnished information which was supplemented by conversations with those who remembered the vanished activities.
