A monumental work. This much expanded second edition includes new information and photographs, courtesy of contact with yet more of those who served the company in one capacity or another, and the opportunity to delve into further company reports, papers and correspondence. In doing so it provides not only a history of the company, but a feel for whaling and its consequences for both humans and mammals in the Southern Ocean.
