Square quarto, softbound (stiff illus. wrappers), 127 pp. Very Good+, with light wear to wrappers. From Introduction: In the thirty years from 1880 to 1910, the American whalemen concentrated their efforts on pursuing the bowhead whale in the waters north of Bering Strait. A highly specialized endeavor, almost every aspect of the hunt was determined by one basic, inescapable fact: in the western Arctic, ice was seldom absent. The schedule of voyages, the gear and implements for taking whales, the clothing and rations for the crews, the vessels themselves -- all were designed or altered for survival and effective use in a harsh, ice-bound climate. Of the adaptations that sustained the bowhead fishery, the use of steam as an auxiliary source of power for the whaleship was the most radical departure from previous practice. Neither the idea nor the actual use of steam power on whaleships was new in 1879, when Mary and Helen, the first of the American steam whalers, was launched. Twenty years earlier, British whalemen had built the prototypes, Narwhal and Dundee, and so great did they find the advantages of steam in the Greenland fishery that the construction of new vessels and the conversion of old ones proceeded rapidly. By 1865, their sailing whaleships were obsolete. In Norway, experiments with steam were also underway. In Norway, experiments with steam were also underway. In 1863, Svend Foyn, an inventive whaling merchant, launched Spes & Fides, the first of the steam-powered catcher boats. Foyn's new craft not only adapted steam to the actual hunt for whales; it provided a stable platform that permitted the use of his other important invention, the large, explosive, cannon-fired harpoon. Together, the catcher boat and the large harpoon ushered in the technology of modern whale hunting, although their widespread use awaited the opening of the rich Antarctic whaling grounds. In 1909, as the American Arctic fishery expired, the Norwegians entered the south polar regions in force, bringing seventeen catcher boats and seven factory ships to operate from a base on South Georgia Island. The era of modern whaling had begun and the long American dominance of the fishery was over. For the Americans, there was little incentive to use steam power until the declining number of bowhead whales forced the whalemen to extend their search farther and farther into the Arctic. Only then could they justify the extra costs of power plants and the coal to fuel them. The tremendous success of Mary and Helen's maiden voyage resolved their calculations in a compelling way and led to the construction of ten steamers like her, all bark-rigged, strongly built, handsome vessels. Twelve other vessels -- older whaleships or onetime merchantmen -- were converted to auxiliary steam power, but unlike the British, the Americans never entirely gave up on the sailing whalers. Such well-known veterans of the fleet as Alice Knowles, Andrew Hicks, Charles W. Morgan and Wanderer, worked the Arctic bowhead grounds along with the steamers, but with increasing disadvantage. By 1906, they and most of the sailing whaleships that survived returned to New Bedford to finish out their days as sperm whalers in more temperate waters and kinder climates. The characteristics of the steam whalers and the history of their employment are the subjects of this publication, which is issued with a twofold purpose. It is meant to serve as a catalogue for a special exhibition at the Whaling Museum on "The Age of Steam Whaling in the Western Arctic," and to stand thereafter as a permanent contribution to knowledge about this last significant phase of American whaling history. The Museum's Curator of Ethnology, John R. Bockstoce, has undertaken the organization of the exhibition and the preparation of the publication, bringing to both tasks a scholar's familiarity with the records of the fishery and ten seasons of field experience on the land and water where its history was enacted. In a separate essay, William A. Baker, Curator of the Francis R. Hart Nautical Museum of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, applies the expertise of naval architect to the design and construction of the class of vessels built for that enterprise. To illustrate their essays, a generaous selection of photographs taken in the Arctic at the time provides a rare picture of one of the most adventuresome chapters in America's maritime history.

The Bering Strait formed the nexus of the circumpolar fur trade in which Russians, British, Americans, and members of fifty native nations competed and cooperated. The desire to dominate the fur trade fed the European expansion into the most remote regions of Asia and America and was an agent of massive change in these regions.".
