Excerpt from A Collection of Books, Pamphlets, Log Books, Pictures, Etc: Illustrating Whales and the Whale Fishery Contained in the Free Public Library In the middle of the last century the district of New Bedford had a fleet of over 400 vessels, mostly ships and barques, engaged in whaling. The introduction of mineral oil as an illuminant, the scarcity of whales, and the Civil War all greatly depleted that fleet, and at the present writing there are no more than one-half dozen vessels which claim New Bedford as their home port.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
