About This Item
Australia's first industry was whaling sending flimsy boats from bays and beaches to harpoon whales, then turn the blubber into oil which went to light the homes of England. Larger ships were needed to pursue whales away from the coast until the commercial development of petroleum put a sudden end to deep sea whaling but after many years it recommenced, this time with a massive assault on the whales of the southern hemisphere but this time Australia was left behind. 178 pages with 34 black and white illustrations and several drawings. Book in very good+ condition with light tanning. Dust jacket in good condition with some knocks and chips to edges (which the inside have been taped) and a large tear on back which has been taped.
