Third Series, vols. 12, 20,21. The Arctic Whaling Journals of William Scoresby the Younger is a three-volume set published by the Hakluyt Society, presenting the detailed journals of Scoresby's nine voyages to the Arctic between 1811 and 1820. Scoresby was a British whaling captain, scientist, and later a clergyman, and these journals offer a rare and vivid account of early 19th-century Arctic whaling. The volumes cover his experiences aboard the whaling ships Resolution and Esk, sailing from Whitby and Hull to the Greenland Sea and around Spitsbergen. Scoresby describes the brutal and dangerous work of hunting bowhead whales, the techniques used to process them, and the challenges of navigating ice-choked waters. He records encounters with polar bears, icebergs, and other ships, and provides detailed observations of weather, sea ice, and Arctic wildlife.

He took careful meteorological and oceanographic measurements, noted magnetic variations, and made early contributions to the study of Arctic geography and climate.…
