Customer Reviews

Beautiful pictorial history of whaling and Hawai'i

Researched and written by MacKinnon Simpson, with many beautiful photographs to accompany the text, WhaleSong provides a 21 Centurian the opportunity to view artifacts of the whaling industry and the influences of whaling on Hawai'i during the 1800's. This book is recommended as a keepsake following a visit to Honolulu's Lahaina Whaling Museum - or as a gift to those who can only hope to go. Robert Goodman's photography is exquisite and the items that he and Mr. Simpson chose for exhibit in the book are of interest to all ages. Kudos for a wonderful job!
