In 1873, 21-year-old Sam Williams embarked on a whaling journey on the two-masted
F.H. Moore
--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:
Incidents of a Whaling Voyage
by Francis Allyn Olmstead (1841);
Etchings of a Whaling Cruise
by J. Ross Browne (1846), an expose of the whaling industry; and
The Gam: Being a Group of Whaling Stories
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.
