Publisher's Synopsis

Sabbaths In The Arctic Regions is a book written by William Scoresby in 1850. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences during his Arctic voyages, particularly focusing on the religious observances he and his crew practiced during their time at sea. Scoresby, who was both a whaler and a Christian minister, describes the challenges of practicing his faith in the harsh and isolated Arctic environment. He also provides insight into the daily life of a whaling crew, including the dangers they faced and the methods they used to hunt whales. The book is an important historical document, shedding light on the culture and practices of 19th-century Arctic exploration and whaling. It is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and seafaring culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
