{"product_id":"9781476613680","title":"\"The Voyage of the F.H. Moore\" and Other 19th Century Whaling Accounts","description":"In 1873, 21-year-old Sam Williams embarked on a whaling journey on the two-masted \u003ci\u003eF.H. Moore\u003c\/i\u003e—he steered one of the boats and threw the harpoon. He kept a personal log and reworked it into this never-before-published manuscript, now supplemented by additional research and relevant excerpts of the ship’s official logbook.    Complementing this are excerpts from three other accounts of whaling voyages: \u003ci\u003eIncidents of a Whaling Voyage\u003c\/i\u003e by Francis Allyn Olmstead (1841); \u003ci\u003eEtchings of a Whaling Cruise\u003c\/i\u003e by J. Ross Browne (1846), an exposé of the whaling industry; and \u003ci\u003eThe Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories\u003c\/i\u003e by Capt. Charles Henry Robbins (1899), a personal story of nearly an entire life at sea. The four accounts open the 19th century world of whaling to modern readers in a realistic and unromantic way.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125206958320,"sku":"9781476613680","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476613680_p0.jpg?v=1763608039","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476613680","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
