Un’avvincente introduzione all’industria della caccia alle balene e alle foche nel Moray Firth della Scozia nord-orientale, Un lotto selvaggio e difficile di Malcolm Archibald vi guiderà attraverso la storia, i pericoli e i successi del commercio.Iniziando con un breve sguardo alla geografia e alla storia marittima dei porti del nord-est della Scozia, il libro introduce l’industria baleniera scozzese attraverso i diari e i libri di bordo contemporanei. Ricco di esempi illuminanti, il libro copre argomenti che vanno dalle fasi di un tipico viaggio di caccia alle balene al processo brutale e spesso sanguinoso dell’industria della caccia alle foche.Dettagli approfonditi sul commercio nel Moray Firth si concentrano sui successi di specifici porti e navi della zona, tra cui la breve industria baleniera di Nairn, il prospero commercio e il caso assicurativo di Banff, le fortune e i pericoli della nave artica e prominente Felix, e un resoconto annuale del commercio di balene e foche nel porto di maggior successo, Fraserburgh. Al di là di uno sguardo all’industria, il libro fornisce utili dettagli riguardo alle navi e una lista dell’equipaggio del 1859 utile per coloro che cercano una possibilità di rintracciare le loro radici familiari nell’industria marittima.
