"Whalemen Adventurers is a history of whaling in Australia, New Zealand and the South Seas. Ranging from the days of sail to modern international efforts for the control of whaling, Professor Dakin draws on whalers' log-book and other sources to give vivid picutres of the excitement of the chase or - to select one dramatic incident - how it feels to be on a sailing-ship when the pots of boiling whale-oil catch fire.
