Rites and Passages: The Experience of American Whaling, 1830–1870
Creighton, Margaret S. (Bates College, Maine)
This book uses the personal testimony of over 200 American whalemen to illuminate the social history of deepwater sailing in the mid-1800s. Discussions of sailors before the mast, of shipmasters aft, of seafaring ritual, and of women in shipboard culture differentiate this from any other maritime study.
