The History of Whaling (Encore)

Whaling is something that humans have engaged in for thousands of years.

For most of that time, indigenous groups conducted it on a small scale for subsistence purposes.

Over time, whaling became commercialized, the annual whale harvest exploded, and whaling became a cornerstone of the early Industrial Revolution.

Alas, it couldn’t last forever.

Learn more about whaling, its rise, and its fall on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
