The evolution of the whaling industry as told through the story of a fictional New England town. "Whale Port" shares the history of a town and the resourcefulness of its citizens through the personal story of Zachariah Taber, his family and neighbors, and the place they call home. Their daily life and the tools and techniques of their trade are fully described and revealed in beautiful, detailed illustrations. Though Tuckanucket itself is fictional, it is typical of the harbor towns that developed with the whaling industry. The fortunes of these towns and their citizens rose and fell like the tide, affected not only by changes in the whaling business but also by storms, fires, and war.
