    Australian Folklore 29, 2014 Australian Folklore 28, 2013 87 The Whale Road: Transitioning from Spiritual Links, to Whaling, to Whale Watching in Aotearoa New Zealand A. Asbjørn Jøn ABSTRACT: The paper treats of the central place of the whale in New Zealand culture and history, from the lore which the Maori brought to New Zealand from Hawaiki. Further, whaling was an early bond between the South Island of New Zealand, and Sydney. History, Art, and deep-seated belief are all key components of the 'Whale Road'. Whales and whaling have been hot topics for global news and international debate in recent years. Legal conflict between whaling nations—such as Japan, Norway and Iceland—and anti-whaling nations—such as Australia and New Zealand—as well as anti-whaling conservation organizations, has sparked a keen increased public interest in whales specifically and cetaceans generally. As just one example of that increased public interest the Animal Planet cable television channel has produced and aired a documentary-like reality television series called Whale Wars. Whale Wars premiered on November 7, 2008 and has run for six seasons, following the work of Captain Paul Watson—who founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The lobbying and legal efforts of organizations and anti-whaling governments has also led to the International Court of Justice agreeing with an action brought by Australia, with New Zealand in support as an intervening state, that Japan’s whaling did not meet the criteria of scientific research—which resulted in Japan being ordered to cease their Antarctic whaling programmes.1 Cetaceans have always held a very special place within the history, traditions and lore of New Zealand.

  • New England Whaling Heritage
    Daley 1 Daley 2 DECLARATION OF CANDIDATE I certify that this thesis does not incorporate without acknowledging any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and that to the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. Signed, Justin H. Daley 11 February 2020 Daley 3 DEDICATION Michelle B. Noble (1989-2013) The sweat and tears expended to produce this dissertation will forever serve as a reminder of the opportunities denied to so many. Daley 4 ABSTRACT The 18th through 19th century New England whaling industry was the world’s leading whaling enterprise. It generated considerable wealth for dozens of emerging oligarchs whose descendants found themselves in a favorable position to subsequently define the interpretation of whaling heritage over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. The central question posed in this thesis is: how did an evolving capitalist system influence the preservation and interpretation of the Yankee whaling industry (1712-1875) in New England? Through a detailed study of the indoor and outdoor interpretive resources of 12 communities, this research looks at what aspects of whaling heritage have been preserved, whether there is regional variation in preservation, how interpretations have been influenced by economic circumstances and changed over time, and how particular interpretations have been prioritized and presented to the public. Over 350 interpretive resources were analyzed, revealing differences in the distribution of interpretive resource types and the changes over pre-revival (<1870), revival (1870-1940) and post revival periods (>1940).

  • The Technology of Whaling in Australian Waters in the 19Th Century
    AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 1, 1983 The Technology of Whaling in Australian Waters in the 19th Century MICHAEL PEARSON This study ofthe technology ofthe whaling industry in 19th century Australia originated as a part ofa wider continuing research project into whaling in southern NS. W. It is necessary to be aware ofthe technology and the artifacts involved in order to understand the surviving artifacts of the industry, both in a museum and an archaeological context, to understand the technology of the sites being studied, and to understand the economic implications ofthe industry both locally and in the colony as a whole. Because shore-based and ship-based whaling were very closely linked in the 19th century, both in their commercial operation and in their technology, it is necessary to look at these two aspects ofthe industry in order to arrive at an overview of whaling techniques and artifacts. The fQllowing paper by Michael Pearson, Historian in the NS. W. National Parks and Wildlife Service, looks at this technology, its sources, and the hardware associated with it. 1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The price paid for whale-oil and whalebone on the Until the development ofpetroleum in the second half international market up until the late 19th century ofthe 19th century, whale-oil played a vital role in the ensured the profitablity of whaling voyages.

    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: In Pursuit of Leviathan: Technology, Institutions, Productivity, and Profits in American Whaling, 1816-1906 Volume Author/Editor: Lance E. Davis, Robert E. Gallman, and Karin Gleiter Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-13789-9 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/davi97-1 Publication Date: January 1997 Chapter Title: Technology Chapter Author: Lance E. Davis, Robert E. Gallman, Karin Gleiter Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c8282 Chapter pages in book: (p. 260 - 296) 7 Technology In any industry, output depends not only on the quantity (and quality) of land, labor, and capital, but also on the techniques used to arrange and integrate factors in the production process-that is, the technology available to and cho- sen by the entrepreneur. A whaling agent had little control over stocks of whales, but he could choose the number and skills of the men who hunted them and the types of capital they would use, and he could choose technical alternatives from a large and evolving menu. Section 7.1 is a brief comparison of sailing and steam vessels. Section 7.2 describes sailing vessels at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Section 7.3 treats subsequent changes in sailing vessels-both improvements that affected ships in general and those specific to whalers-including innovations in hull design, sails, rigging, and machinery and other equipment. Sections 7.4 and 7.5 describe improvements in construction techniques and in ocean cartogra- phy and hydrography.
