Captain Ahab Had a Wife: New England Women and the Whalefishery, 1720-1870 Paperback - 2000
by Lisa Norling
From the jacket flap
A social history that uncovers the lives of maritime women in New England villages whose men were whalers during the 18th and 19th centuries. Norling draws from a variety of sources--including women's and men's letters and diaries, shipowners' records, church records, newspapers and magazines, censuses, and city directories to uncover the women's often poignant and painful stories.
