Excerpt from The Old Whaling Days: A History of Southern New Zealand From 1830 to 1840 In connection with the American whalers, another source of information has proved valuable. Great numbers of their logs have been preserved, and have been examined by the Author in the libraries of the Historical Societies which ourish up and down the eastern coast Of the United States, from Salem to Washington. The best log found - that of the Mary Mitchell, in the rooms of the Nantucket Historical Society - has been published as an Appendix. And its perusal should prove extremely interesting. It is, however, unique among logs, because, when the whaling trade grew to huge dimensions in the United States, men of little education Obtained commands, and their entries were often exhausted, when the weather, the position Of the vessel, and the number of whales killed, had been recorded.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
