Description

"...a fascinating, in-depth story of how overconfidence and overharvesting of a species set an entire fleet of whaling vessels on a voyage of destruction. Through meticulous research, author Mark Songini not only chronicles this 1871 disaster, but also illustrates how this event crushed both the whaling city of New Bedford and its prize industry...."
