Whalemen’s Shipping List and Merchants’ Transcript, 1843-1914

We are happy to present PDF versions of the Whalemen’s Shipping List, first published in 1843 with the “…latest advices of every vessel engaged in the Whaling business, together with the prices current of our staple commodities, and interesting items of commercial intelligence.” The List was the main source of information on American whaling vessels throughout the second half of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries.
