Curt Martin: The History of Whaling

On September 9, 2020, Curtis Martin guided us through the history of New England whaling. Martin, a retired college professor, has done extensive research on whaling history. He examines the economic importance of whaling, the risks to the crew, the by-products of whaling, daily life on ship-board, the hunt, capture, and processing of whales, and finally, the decline and demise of the industry in the United States.
