Taking off your shoes was a common practice to ensure you don’t sink as fast if you get knocked overboard. Most people back then couldn’t swim. When wet, clothing and shoes are like led weights and they obstruct movement. Even if you know how to swim these items make it incredibly difficult to function.
there' a bunch. Men & Whales, The History of the American Whale Fishery by Starbuck, The Marine Mammals of the Northwestern Coast of North America by Scammon, Dolin's book, etc.
There’s an anime for whaling, except the ship is an airship and the whales are fat dragons, though the processing scenes are similar to what is described. It’s also shouldn’t be much of a surprise that there is an anime since Japan is a top whaling country
I would bet they took their shoes off for safety. Think about it you're fighting a whale in a little boat if you get knocked over it's probably easier to swim in your bare feet. Or maybe they took their shoes off because they didn't want to walk around with wet shoes on all day or maybe their shoes are made out of some kind of poor material that didn't do well with salt water
Some details she gets right. Unfortunately, the majority of the science presented between 7:53 and 11:20 is wrong. She got other details wrong in this presentation as well.
Oh, and Yankee whalers killed thousands each year. Tell me how many are killed by container ships each year? I'd love you to share your "expertise". hahah
Whaling captains were just as often free black men as white Quakers particularly in Nantucket ie. Paul Curie, Adsolam Boston, both men built and owned and operated their ships, plural The latter man who's, family house still stands on Nantucket as a museum. Don't forget the many native American captains and blacks from Cape Verde. Whaling was truly the equal opportunity industry of its time based on merit and skills. Good information otherwise.
Take off your shoes because its really hard to swim in clothes and shoes when something happens and your swimming for your life cant believe they didn't know y you would take your shoes off .if the slay ride wrecked your boat you don't want to be swimming for miles with wool natural fiber dress and shoes your goner when i was a kid i alomost drown playing at the swiming pond and went over my hear on my bike wearing work boots and sweat suit and had to try to strip under water lucky i was only 1' over my head if i was in ocean i would of went to the bottom
And everyone watching the snow that that whale suffered every moment until it died, this is not Humane, it's not okay. And for a country that says they're so enlightened to be doing this for hundreds of years is absolutely gross
You do realize just about every European country with a fucking port caught whales at some point, right? America, Canada, Australia, UK, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, etc. You're ignorant af.
This was just a horribly done presentation. The sound was terrible due to the acoustics of the room and the large video in the background was reduced to insignificance by zooming out to capture the museum for the entire presentation. So you wanted to pitch your museum, you could have done a pan around at the beginning then switched to full screen of the video and all the while doing a voiceover recorded in a sound booth.
Thank you for your feedback. This was filmed in 2005 under limited conditions. Although not good video, we decided to share it during the pandemic for historical purposes. We've worked on improving our productions since then. You might want to view the most current version of the program done in 2024 - th-cam.com/video/0n2cRgXW-QQ/w-d-xo.html. Thank you again.
H. Melville sent me here. Great presentation!
This is probably the single best presentation I've ever had the pleasure of watching about the Nantucket whaling industry. Thank you for sharing!
Like, "I want to watch it, no stopping. Full thru."
This is an excellent overview of the Whaling industry! AND Nantucket! Thank you so much!!
I know it is kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch new movies online ?
@Francis Cohen I use Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Chris Jaiden yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for since march myself :)
@Chris Jaiden thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!!
@Francis Cohen You are welcome :)
This was a wonderful lecture, fascinating and very insightful, it makes me want to visit Nantucket one day.
Yup !! Brings back memories of the movie, Moby Dick, Gregory Peck, and a host of great actors. Many thanks from Argentina.❤❤❤
Thank you for helping me visualize Moby-Dick.
Outstanding presentation! Thank you!
That was amazing! Your a great story teller. Thank you.
Very interesting, and she’s a great lecturer. Thank you!
What a fantastic presenter! I enjoyed this so much and learned a ton!

Grear lecture. Very interesting and covered pretty much everything in the whaling business.
Wonderful presentation. Always wanted to visit Nantucket. Perhaps one day.

Sailors also didn't want to risk losing their shoes in the ocean.
Incredible presentation! Wow!
This lady is so good. Didn't miss a beat.
Very awesome and informative video.
I hate to see people killing these beautiful creatures, but it's also fascinating what we were able to accomplish in those days.
it ALMOST seems like a fair fight.
Meh, life feeds on life. Just think how many lives those whales take themselves.
@@stephentumlin8613 not human. No ones crying a river for krill, plankton or a stray crab.
@@dqreps Krill, Humans, what's the difference? Try to suppose that a moralistic view might not appeal to everyone.
Great presentation! Very interesting. I learned a lot about whaling that I didn't know.
wonderfully presented. thank you.
Very well done.
Thanks.
thank you ive never been east of chicago but i really wanna go to the east coast and see the history but this will do for now!!!!
This was very informative and answered a lot of my questions
Lovely Presentation
Superb presentation
Really enjoyable lecture!
I’ll follow him around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition’s flames before I give him up.
Man I wish I could be there to help you with camera work awesome presentation
outstanding! thank you
Herman Melville goes into huge detail in Moby Dick about the nature of whales and the hunt. This lecture sits very nicely alongside that.
Really? This is a nice little chit chat, but it’s not anywhere near the heights of Melville’s work. You’ve read the book, right? 😂
of course, I've read it@@winskypinsky
Fantastic account of a bygone era.
Great piece of work. Although I´m familiar with the subject I could learn new things.
Great video. Thank you
Amazing ❗️👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✅🇬🇧
Why would they upload this in 480p?
It’s from 2005
So fossil fuel saved whale.
You had to be a brave man to circle the globe to the deepest parts of the ocean, get in a row boat and hunt an 80 ton bull Sperm whale.
Fascinating
I couldn’t find any books on whale hunting on Amazon I’m curious where the source of research came from. Any book recommendations?
there' a bunch. Men & Whales, The History of the American Whale Fishery by Starbuck, The Marine Mammals of the Northwestern Coast of North America by Scammon, Dolin's book, etc.
Check out “Heart of the Sea” by Nathaniel Philbrick

There’s an anime for whaling, except the ship is an airship and the whales are fat dragons, though the processing scenes are similar to what is described. It’s also shouldn’t be much of a surprise that there is an anime since Japan is a top whaling country
What's the name of the anime?
Gonna give us a name?
I forgot airship something
Drifting dragons is the name of the anime
@@zinovyrozhestvensky652 no problem, I just looked it up. Apparently it's called "Drifting Dragons" or something like that
The whale was going like ow ow ow ow!
Great documentary
amazing!!!
Awesome

Or maybe they took their shoes off because they didn't want to walk around with wet shoes on all day or maybe their shoes are made out of some kind of poor material that didn't do well with salt water
Also it’s easier to climb rigging with bare feet
They also didn't want to lose their shoes in the ocean.
Three whales gave this a thumbs down.
Now we're up to five whales as of August 24, 2020.
Agreed. But I believe it’s; they gave it a flukes down. 🐋
We have got to bring back whaling. Awesome presentation.
why?
@@cartermize6651 same reasons we did it in the first place.
@@johnk1529we have petroleum already, tho it could be good for meat.

Watched this so could relate better to Moby Dick as I read it 😂👏🏼
Container ships kill more whales daily than these whale hunters ever did
They caught tens of thousands of whales every year in the 1950s and 60s. Fuck you're ignorant as fuck.
Oh, and Yankee whalers killed thousands each year. Tell me how many are killed by container ships each year? I'd love you to share your "expertise". hahah
Fire in the chimney ! Lol damn
Cameraman training to take down a megalodon! No Harpoon needed!
BLOOD AND THUNDER
34 minutes and she never mentioned how we damn near killed off all these whales for some stupid lamp oil??!!
20:00
Oh I thought this was a body positive video
So the Indians never thought itd be a good idea to go hunt a whale?
Didn't need to
The whale was used to build homes, soap, medication, food, SO MUCH
They didn’t invent the wheel either

"Hang on tight and then just swallow."
Childish descriptions in 2024?
Please excuse yourself before regurgitation
Coming here to understand Moby Dick better. Still hate whaling.
Take off your shoes because its really hard to swim in clothes and shoes when something happens and your swimming for your life cant believe they didn't know y you would take your shoes off .if the slay ride wrecked your boat you don't want to be swimming for miles with wool natural fiber dress and shoes your goner when i was a kid i alomost drown playing at the swiming pond and went over my hear on my bike wearing work boots and sweat suit and had to try to strip under water lucky i was only 1' over my head if i was in ocean i would of went to the bottom
Unfortunately the only thing that Nantucket has is for its whaling culture
what ?
jonahs lentil soup

Why does she refer to the whale as “he”?
I went to the museum last month and she referred to the sperm whales as they/them and the right whales as ze/zer. Changing times eh?!
@@mcdaddy2011 God i hope you're joking.

Poor camera optics and a squeaky voiced narrator. There are many other docs on Nantucket whaling that are more pleasing.
Bet you are alot of fun.
While I disagree with your comment , can you please tell me which documentaries on trying to learn about this subject
leonard childs, would you like a refund ?
This isn’t a documentary Bruv. This is a recording of a museum presentation.
