Hardcover. Condition: VG++. Dust Jacket Condition: VG+. 1st. Whaling, and sealing, together with some extraction of timber, were virtually the initial New Zealand commercial activities when the first pre-colonials arrived. Whaling was well established in the Atlantic by ships operating from American bases and by the late 1700s both American and British whalers were working in Pacific and Australian waters. This trade flourished and "in its heyday was to extend from Tasmania to Peru, and from the waters south of New Zealand to Japan and Alaska. Hundreds of ships and thousands of men were to be employed and cargoes worth millions to be brought back." The author covers the establishment of this internatiional commerce before concentrating on NZ waters from the time these were found to host large numbers of sperm whales. The 11 chapters of his book cover all aspects of the rise and decline of whaling, including bay, shore and offshore whalers, the ups and downs of those conducting the business, the operational methodolgy of the industry on ship or shore and the markets they supplied to compile a wide-ranging study of the "trade." He observes that while whalers were "not addicted" to writing, their activities were observed (and recoprded) by "some of the acutest and most literate men in NZ in the early days." First edition from Minerva in 1965, 163 pages including bibliography and index. illustrated with 27 b/w images of contemporary art or photograps, drawings of right and sperm whales. endpaper maps of marking shore whaling stations on the North and South Islands.
