What would you do with a bunch of whalers early in the morning?

I wish we had more episodes of them working together in the vastness of the sea and how their comradery makes them a competent bunch of whalers.

I guess it's time to start moving some content from twt over here! For those who don't know me, I'm a public librarian with a special interest in polar and nautical history, and I love nothing more than connecting readers with good books. I've managed to convert some friends to my way of thinking, and one of them coined the phrase "sad boat books" to describe the types of books that I'm always reading and recommending. Here is my first list of sad boat books-- I can personally vouch for all of them!
