ABOUT
The Perano family operated shore whaling stations inside the narrow entrance to Tory Channel in Cook Strait, utilising small high speed whale chasing boats.
In compiling this book Christchurch journalist Don Grady interviewed more than 80 former whalers employed by the Peranos and examined thousands of old diaries, records and photographs. Grady's extensively illustrated book is an outstanding chronicle of a colourful era in New Zealand's history, an immensely readable "inside story" of a unique industry and a unique way of life.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images, maps on end papers.
