GUEST,CJB Origin: Soon May the Wellerman Come (137* d) RE: Origin: Soon May the Wellerman Come 15 Nov 22


The Reed book was found from Google by searching for “prints New Zealand whaling wellerman” or something like that. Mike says it was in a book of sketches - that’s a moot point. And if it came from a library (school library?) it has to be of an age when it’s been finally discarded as libraries do. There’s quite a few books that come up on Google Books listings. Whilst these are dated in the 2000s they appear to be modern facsimiles of earlier books. I think Google Books is the key. BTW the Charles W Morgan whaler visited New Zealand. I wonder if the folk at Mystic know about ‘Wellerman.’
