Whaling and Sealing at the Chatham Islands

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

Concerned with whaling and sealing in and around the Chaltham Islands. One of the most prolific whaling grounds of the Pacific, it attracted many American whalers. Seales were quickly reduced, and written records are meagre (from front fly leaf.)

The scarce first edition of this work, written by Rhys Richards. Complete with dust wrapper. Featuring illustrations in text.
