Australia's early whalemen battled turbulent seas, shipwrecks, hunger and disease in their ruthless search for whales. Whaling became a major industry in Australia and Tasmania. Bay whaling stations were set up on many parts of the southern Australian coast and islands, and many ships came from France and America. (book flap)
