We were the first to commercially hunt whales, mainly from XII to XVIII century, So we are guilty of the whale is in danger of extinction.
Frank talked us about a reproduction of a whaler vessel in Mystic, and the logbooks of the whalers in the XIX century.
Now I am wondering how they navigated from Europe to America in the XVI century, see IMGP6538.JPG.
