Publisher's Synopsis

""A Whaling Voyage In The Bark Willis, 1849-1850"" is a book written by Samuel Millet that chronicles his experiences as a whaler during the mid-19th century. Millet was a member of the crew aboard the Willis, a whaling ship that set sail from New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1849. The book provides a detailed account of the daily life of a whaler, including the dangerous and often grueling work of hunting and processing whales. Millet describes the various types of whales they encountered, the methods used to catch them, and the tools and equipment used in the process. He also provides insights into the social dynamics of life aboard a whaling ship, including the relationships between crew members and the challenges they faced during long voyages at sea. Overall, ""A Whaling Voyage In The Bark Willis, 1849-1850"" provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of maritime history and the lives of those who made their living on the open seas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
