4 Years a-whaling

"Charles S. Raleigh, a mariner turned painter, created in 1878-80 a spirited - and sizable - panorama of "A whaling voyage in the ship Niger." In this book, the seventeen panels that make up his remarkable painting form the backdrop for a story of ships and men engaged in the adventurous enterprise of American whaling in the age of sail." - Dust jacket
