  • Official Publication of the American Land Title Association
    OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN LAND TITLE ASSOCIATION 1876-1976 A Message from the President JANUARY, 1976 With the beginning of each new year, it is incumbent on all of us to evaluate not only our personal achieve­ ments in our private and business lives but also the achievements of our industry. We can be justly proud of the contributions that the members of the American Land Title Association have made to the real estate in­ dustry and we should reaffirm our dedication to improving our services for the betterment of the public and the industry. The American Land Title Association seeks to coordinate the efforts of the various state associations and the individual members in promoting public understanding of the value of our services to the public and in the improvement of those services. Many feel that the economic conditions during 1976 will be somewhat better than what we have experi­ enced in the past few years and we should use this opportunity to increase our activities as an association in those areas which will effectively inform the public and the members of various regulatory bodies of the necessity for and the value of our services. The officers and staff of our Association seek the advice of the membership and, therefore, request and urge that you now plan to attend the Mid-Winter Conference at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on March 21-24, 1976, so that your ideas and wishes can be directly communicated to your officers. On behalf of the officers and staff of the Association, we wish to express our thanks for the helpfulness of the membership and we wish all a very prosperous New Year.

Gallman, Karin Gleiter Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c8288 Chapter pages in book: (p. 498 - 512) 13 Modern Whaling The last three decades of the nineteenth century were a period of decline for American whaling.' The market for oil was weak because of the advance of petroleum production, and only the demand for bone kept right whalers and bowhead whalers afloat. It was against this background that the Norwegian whaling industry emerged and grew to formidable size. Oddly enough, the Norwegians were not after bone-the whales they hunted, although baleens, yielded bone of very poor quality. They were after oil, and oil of an inferior sort. How was it that the Norwegians could prosper, selling inferior oil in a declining market? The answer is that their costs were exceedingly low. The whales they hunted existed in profusion along the northern (Finnmark) coast of Norway and could be caught with a relatively modest commitment of man and vessel time. The area from which the hunters came was poor. Labor was cheap; it also happened to be experienced in maritime pursuits, particularly in the sealing industry and in hunting small whales-the bottlenose whale and the white whale (narwhal).

American Lucifers: Makers and Masters of the Means of Light, 1750-1900 Abstract This dissertation examines the social history of Atlantic and American free and unfree labor by focusing on the production and consumption of the means of light from the colonial period to the end of the nineteenth century. Drawing from archives across the country, I reconstruct the ground-level experiences and struggles of the living (and dying) bringers of lights—those American lucifers—and the worlds they made in the process. I begin by arguing that colonial American deep-sea whaling voyages triggered an Atlantic street lighting revolution radiating from London, while a New England run candles-for-slave(ry) trade helped illuminate and circulate processes caught up in colonial transatlantic sugar slavery.

  • Week 2 History of Whaling in Bermuda Whalers Were Crucial to the Development of the First Settlements in the New World, Including Bermuda
    Cetacean Month Week 2 History of whaling in Bermuda Whalers were crucial to the development of the first settlements in the New World, including Bermuda. Colonies were dependent on whaling for survival. Humpback whales were said to have kept settlers awake at night with their playful behaviour on South Shore. Whaling in Bermuda began as early as 1616. By the 1800’s it was a strong part of the economy. Whale baleen and blubber were used for everything. Baleen was said to be “the plastic of the 1800’s”. Whale oil was used to power lights and manufacture goods, such as soap, rope and textiles. Whale blubber was cut into large sheets and cooked down to make the oil. Whale blubber is the fatty tissue of a whale that allows it to withstand freezing cold water temperatures. Activity to try at home - Make your own blubber glove Research question: How do Humpbacks and other mammals survive in freezing cold water? For this activity you will need, 2 ziplock bags, a bowl of ice water, shortening (Crisco) and duct tape. Fill one ziplock with the shortening place the other ziplock inside and tape the openings together so that you can put your hand in the second ziplock without touching the shortening. Place one hand in the ice water and see how long you can leave it in before it becomes too cold. With the other hand, place it in the ziplock bag, making sure the shortening is around your hand and place it into the bowl. What do you notice about the temperature? Can you keep your hand in longer? Draw a Humpback whale! You will need sidewalk chalk, a measuring tape and a printout of the whale images attached on Page 2.

  • The Whaling Order
    I The Whaling Order The more I dive into this matter of whaling, and push my researches up to the very spring-head of it, so much the more am I impressed with its greatness and antiquity; and especially when I find so many great demi-gods and heroes, proph- ets of all sorts, who one way or another have shed distinction upon it. But even stripped of these supernatural surmisings, there was enough in the earthly make and incontestable character of the monster to strike the imagination with unwonted power. Herman Melville, Moby-Dick (1851, chapters 82 and 41) 2 An International Political Economy of Modern Whaling Whaling is an ancient craft that has been traced back to 15,000 B.C. (Stoett 1997). Yet, in a sense, modern whaling was born against all odds: after the discovery of mineral oil in Pennsylvania in 1859, whale oil was progressively replaced in its most important uses, lighting and lubrication. Despite this ostensible substitution, the next hundred years saw an unprecedented expansion of whaling and the emergence of the large-scale, industrial whaling properly known as the ‘‘modern whaling industry’’ (Tonnessen and Johnsen 1982), able to hold its place among the staples of the industrialization process well into the 1960s. How can the endurance of whaling in modern societies be explained? Before answering this question, the chapter begins by mapping out the various forms of whaling, according to the different ways of utilizing the parts of the whale, so as to introduce the reader to practices that have largely fallen into oblivion today.
