Eric Jay Dolin, Leviathan

Date: 08/08/2007
Length: 00:06:43

Whaling is a thing of the past, but not the distant past. In 1846, 735 of the world's 900 whaling ships were American. By 1924 the last whaling ship set sail from New Bedford, crude oil having replaced the need for whale blubber. The back-story is told in "Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America" by Eric Jay Dolin.
