I'm interested in the whaling adventures of my ancestors and the standard logbooks only list weather and sea conditions in general. This book, although somewhat fictitious, fills in the color. There are many references to actual events and so not entirely fiction. Second book to read after this is Logbook For Grace,different author. it is an actual experience written in 1913, while aboard the Daisy. That book was published in the 60's. If your relative was a whaler out of New Bedford, or you are just interested, you need to read both of these books!
