British North American Whaling Voyages

This database documents whaling voyages from ports in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick from 1779 through 1845. Several sources of information were consulted for these British North American whaling voyages, but the details of these voyages are largely the work of Andrea Kirkpatrick.
