Steve Gardham Whalers and chanteys? (41) RE: Whalers and chanteys? 29 Jul 23

I know Bullen's 'Cachelot' (1875) has some references to chanties as mentioned on the other thread. I'm on the 100th page at the moment and the ship is out of New Bedford and in the Indian ocean having caught a few sperm whales. I think had there been any so far FrankB would have mentioned them.

At the height of chantying British whaling was on its last legs.

BTW, Gibb or anyone else, do you know the actual name of the whaler FrankB sailed on out of New Bedford in 1875? Be interesting to see if it turns up as one of the vessels given in Huntington.
