The book was a heckuva lot better than I had anticipated. Robertson, a physician, gives an account of his time spent with a whaling boat near the death of the industry. Robertson is a surprisingly engaging writer, with a good self-deprecating sense of humor and an easy-to-read conversational style. He mostly simply recounts his observations and some things about the whaling industry, which was a pretty gruesome trade. Real men doing manly jobs. I enjoyed this.

he tries to give a real portrait of the life but the whole thing is so bloody and cruel.
