Explore the rise and fall of the global whaling industry before the age of electrification in this comprehensive historical deep dive. From its explosive growth in the 17th to 19th centuries—fueled by the demand for whale oil, baleen, and ambergris—to its eventual decline due to overhunting, industrialization, and the rise of petroleum, this video uncovers how entire economies and coastal communities were built on the back of the whale. Discover the dangers faced at sea, the brutal efficiency of whalers, and how technological progress made the industry obsolete long before conservation efforts took hold.
