Why read it?
1 author picked The Sea-Hunters as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Stackpole’s remarkable history of the men of whaling from its inception to its glorified height included the only mention of one Captain in my book—Peter Green—and why a Black man achieved the rank of captain, a role fundamentally omniscient as management ranks go. As historically significant is that his son, Matthew Stackpole—an adviser and personal friend—is credited with the restoration of America’s second oldest ship (after the U.S.S. Constitution), the Mystic Seaport Museum’s Charles W. Morgan—America’s last whaleship whose last voyage’s Captain and entire crew were men of color.
From Skip's list on from an expert on whaling captains of color.
