Captain Ahab Had a Wife: New England Women and the Whalefishery, 1720-1870 - Gender and American Culture
Lisa Norling
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the whaling industry of New England sent thousands of men to distant seas. This work examines letters and diaries, shipowners' records, church records, newspapers and city directories, to reconstruct the lives of the ""Cape Horn widows"" left behind onshore.
