'Killing whales is sometimes attended with bad accidents.'Dr. William Dalton, surgeon of the Phoenix
Scurvy. Amputation. Tropical disease. Irritable captains. Mutinous crews. Such were the trials facing the men who shipped out as doctors on South Seas whalers in the early nineteenth century. Using diaries, journals and correspondence the author tells a fascinating story of remarkable men undergoing unbelievable hardships.
In this lively and often darkly humorous tale we learn what type of person would sign on for a dangerous three year voyage across the globe, what types of medicines and surgical tools were available and what sort of people they encountered on remote South Seas islands.
