CoML Miscellaneous whale products
This table from logbook entries includes information from logbooks from American offshore whaling voyages. These data were extracted from the original whaling logbooks during a scientific research project conducted by a team from the Census of Marine Life project (CoML, www.coml.org) led by Tim Denis Smith between 2000 and 2010.
Information about the content and structure of the database is available in the Database Description and the Column Definitions, Code Tables and Usage Notes. We plan on updating the database annually. You are encouraged to submit additions and corrections through the submission form.
