C17th Arctic whaling
Editorial history
15/10/12: CSG created page
Purpose of this page
This week (W/C 15/10/12) Jill's and Colin's teams are working on a case involving a failed whaling adventure to the Arctic Ocean ("Batson against Goslin and others")
We plan to publish a blog article on the case, placing it in a broader context of the whaling fisheries off Spitzbergen in the 1650s. (The first thing to not is that C17th "Greeneland" is what we now call "Spitzbergen")
Jill and Colin would like to encourage their team members to use this page to share quotes, and to explore places, people and activities mentioned in the pages they are transcribing
