The History of the Whalers on the South Coast of New Holland from 1800-1888 by Rod Dickson. This 620 page reference work was compiled from research on documents from the WA State Library & Pacific Maritime Bureau. The list of ships operating along the WA coast in the whaling industry at that time was amazing with over 800 ships recorded. Fascinating reading for the WA historian & useful for those tracing postal history especially through Albany at this time. Accompanied by the transcribed & detailed journal for "Hezekiah Pinkham 1793-1802". Both books brand new with first author signed. (2)
