Madeira Park, BC: Harbour Publishing, 1987. First edition. A history, including the personal experiences of the author and other ex-whalers, of whaling off the west coast of British Columbia, 1905-1972. During that period, over 30,000 whales were killed in those waters and the business of capturing and processing them created its own mythology. As well as hard history of the whaling companies, the ships and their crews, the author also includes sailors' tales of sea monsters, giant octopuses, freaks of enormous size, etc. A Fine hardcover in a Fine dustwrapper, an excellent copy..
