Sealing trade and ship peril in the North Atlantic
A long, dense excerpt describes the sealing industry in the North Atlantic, its ships and crews, and the brutal hunting of harp seals. It details the dangers of ice, bergs, and gales, the routines aboard sealing vessels, and the harsh aftermath of hunts including carcasses, fat, and pelts. The narrative also touches on daily life ashore, incidental anecdotes, and broader maritime activity surrounding Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Europe.
