A Day in the Life of a Colonial Sea Captain
The Library of Living and Working in Colonial Times
Captain Charles Burke would say that some men are made for the sea. An important part of colonial life, whale hunting provided for many of the necessities of the colonial age. Fortunes could be made and lives could be lost at sea. In this book, Burke and his men struggle against the elements to return to port--their hunt a success.
