Whaling was the first American industry to exhibit any diversity. Working with archival records at museums, in libraries, archives and interviews with people whose ancestors were whaling masters, Finley culls stories from the lives of 54 black whaling captains to create a portrait of what life was like for these leaders of colour on the high seas.
