In Those Days: Tales of Arctic Whaling: Collected Writings on Arctic History

In this third volume of In Those Days, Harper shares stories of the rise and fall of the whaling industry in the Eastern Canadian Arctic. Along with first-hand accounts from sailing crew journals and dozens of rare, historical photographs, this collection includes the myth of the Octavius—a ship that drifted for 12 years with a frozen crew—encounters between sailors and Inuit, tales of the harrowing hazing rituals suffered by first-time crewmembers, and much more.
