The book presents the never before published story of the 1873-74 whaling voyage of the F.H. Moore through the eyes of crew member Sam Williams. The book also includes some lost notes of another whaling voyage Williams took to the Azores. There are also excerpts of three first person accounts of whaling published in the 1800's. Together the four parts open the world of whaling to readers in a realistic and unromantic way which illuminate the current worldwide debate on whaling.
