17. STEAM NAVIGATION AND SAILING PACKET LINES (chap. xv). F. B. C. Bradlee, Steam Navigation in New England (Salem, 1920, reprinted from E.I.H.C.) gives a detailed account of the lines north of Boston with illustrations. The same author, in a series of articles in the International Marine Engineering between 1910 and 1920, describes the lines south of Boston. His The Dreadnought of New- buryport (Salem, 1920, reprinted with additions from E.I.H.C.), contains material on the sailing packets. Samuel Samuels, From the Forecastle to the Cabin (N.Y., 1887). Moses W. Mann, "Medford Steamboat Days," Medford Historical Register, XVII, 92 (1914). Pliny Miles, Advantages of Ocean Steam Navigation (1857) contains much data on Southern coasting trade. R. B. Forbes, The Auxiliary Screw Ship " Massachusetts" (1853), and Remarks on Ocean Steam Navigation (1855).

19. WHALING. There is need of a comprehensive history of this industry, paying due attention to the labor and business aspects, and using the almost untouched mines of information in the New Bedford Whalemen's Shipping List (1843-1916), the New Bedford customs records, and the log books and business records at the New Bedford Public Library and elsewhere. The standard histories are Obed Macy, History of Nantucket (1835); Alexander Starbuck, His- tory of the American Whale Fishery (with complete list of whaling voyages, Waltham, 1878); and Walter S. Tower, History of the Ameri- can Whale Fishery (Pub. of the U. of Penn. No. 20, 1907), with bib- liography and statistics. Another whaling bibliography which lists many periodical articles and titles not found in Tower, is [G. H. Tripp], A Collection of Books, Pamphlets, Log Books, Pictures, etc. Illustrating Whales and the Whale Fishery contained in the "Free Public Library, New Bedford, Mass. (2d ed., April, 1920). The chapter by James T. Brown in G. B. Goode, Fisheries of the U.S. (Washington, 1887), VII, 218-93, gives the most detailed account of methods and appliances. Hussey & Robinson, Catalogue of Nan- tucket Whalers ... from 1815 to 1870 (Nantucket, 1876) is a useful check-list. John R. Spears, The Story of the New England Whalers (N.Y., 1908), with a chapter on the slavers; and A. Hyatt Verrill, The Real Story of the Whaler (N.Y., 1916), are the best popular de-

scriptions and histories. Herman Melville's classic, Moby-Dick, or the White Whale (Ist ed., 1851), gives the writer's experiences in the form of a novel. Other whaling novels by whalemen are Joseph C. Hart, Miriam Coffin (2 vols, N.Y., 1835, and later editions), and William Hussey Macy, There She Blows! (1877) and C. H. Robbins The Gam (New Bedford, 1899), a group of short stories. Among the dozens of whaling voyage narratives: J. Ross Browne, Etchings of a Whaling Cruise (N.Y., 1846), gives the viewpoint of a green hand; Charles Nordhoff, Whaling and Fishing (Cincinnati, 1856) that of an able seaman under a decent skipper. J. N. Reynolds's Report on Islands discovered by Whalers in the Pacific (1835) is in 23 Cong., 2d sess., Ho. Exec. Doc. III, No. 105. Charles Wilkes, U.S.N., in his Narrative of the U.S. Exploring Expedition, 1838-42 (London, 1845), v., Chap. XII, gives a list of the whaling grounds and describes certain practices, which are also exposed by F. M. Ringgold (U.S. consul at Puita, P.I.) in an official report summarized in Hunt's Merch. Mag., XLI, 391 (1859); and denounced by the Rev. Francis Wayland in The Claims of the Whalemen on Christian Benevolence (New Bedford, 1843). The Old Dartmouth Historical Sketches (quar- terly of the Old Dartmouth Historical Society), especially nos. 14, 38, 44, and 45, are full of valuable material.
20. THE CLIPPER-SHIP ERA (chaps. XXI-XXIII). Captain Arthur H. Clark's incomparable Clipper Ship Era (N.Y., 1911), and Dr. Octavius T. Howe's MS. history of the clipper ships and MS. history of the '49 movement, are the principal authorities on which I have relied. The dimensions of clipper ships given in the footnotes are taken for the most part from the Boston ship registry at the Boston custom house. Henry Blaney, Journal of Voyage to China and Re- turn, 1851-53 (p.p., 1913). Lieut. M. F. Maury, Explanations and Sailing Directions (6th ed., Phila., 1854). Percy Chase MSS., H.C.L., a compilation of clipper and other ships' records. Description of the Largest Ship in the World, the New Clipper Great Republic (1853). R. B. Forbes, To Merchants, Underwriters and others Interested (1853), and An Appeal to Merchants and Ship Owners on the subject of Seamen (1854). For the commerce of the period 1850-60 the Boston Board of Trade Reports, beginning 1854, are most important; those of 1880 and 1882 give additional matter.
