The Whale Museum, located on San Juan Island in
Washington state, recently received a donation
from a personal library of approximately 150
books on whaling and whale-related topics. While
we have added most of these to our collection,
there are about 60 books that we would like to
sell to raise money for the museum. These 60
books are a diverse collection on the topic and range from common to rare.
The most valuable of the books are being listed
on E-Bay by one of our volunteers. Those titles
include: "Cap'n George Fred" Himself; Addendum to
"Starbuck" and "Whaling Masters"; Journal of a
Voyage to the Northern Whale-Fishery; Seasons
with the Sea-Horses (this is currently on E-Bay);
Stove by a Whale; The Arctic Whalers; The Whalers
of Akutan; Whales & Destiny: The Rivalry Between
America
; and Whaling and Fishing. If you are
interested in any of these titles, please visit
E-Bay. All of the titles should be listed soon.
The rest of the books are at the museum, and we
have been selling some of them in our store. A
sample of the titles and prices are: Arctic
Rovings: or The Adventures of a New Bedford Boy
on Sea and Land $8; Baleia! Baleia! Whale Hunters
of the Azores $10; Flying the Chase Flag $7; John
F. Kennedy Scrimshaw Collector $10; Melville and
His World $8; The Charles W. Morgan $8; and
Whales, Whaling and Whalecraft (paperback) $8. Prices do not include shipping.
I have a complete list of the titles including
author, publisher, and publication date in Excel
format. If you are interested in any of the books
or would like the complete list (I am still
working on some prices), please email me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call me at (360) 378-4710 ext. 27.
Thanks for your interest and supporting the museum.
