Summary : Hawaiian Whaler Diary

The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was the end of the Hawaiian monarchy and officially became part of the U.S. territory in the 1900s. The people who had overthrown the kingdom were originally called the Hawaiian League. They were a group of planters and businessmen who wanted to control the Hawaiian Kingdom they eventually changed their names to the Annexation Club then to the Committee of Public of Safety. After they had overthrown the Hawaiian monarchy, they created a provisional government to lead the Hawaiian kingdom. Afterwards, on January 12, 1898, Hawaii was officially annexed to the United States. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom negatively impacted the Hawaiian Kingdom because it made Queen Liliuokalani give up her throne, took the independence of Hawaii, and changed the voting

“ The story of the whale is so remarkable, that were there not so many witnesses, I would not venture to tell it, lest I be accused of exaggeration.”

John Longridge agrees to take care of his friend’s three pets, Luath, a young Labrador, Bodger, an old Bull Terrier, and Tao, a Siamese cat while the family is out of the country. Everything is fine until Longridge lives on a trip and the pets decide to find their way home on their own through the outback of the Canadian wilderness. Each of the pets faces an almost life ending peril during the trip. Bodger is attacked by a baby bear, Tao almost drowns in a river, and Luath suffers from severe infection from porcupine quills. Along the way the three friends encounter many different people, some are helpful and others are downright mean to them. But at the end of the story, they are reunited safe and sound with their family. The themes of

Killer whales are one of the most fascinating displays of ocean life. The killer whale has characteristics that are important to its survival in the ocean. It is interesting to know that killer whales have a plentiful diet. It is astounding to see how killer whales behave in the ocean. I plan to tell you about the killer whale, its characteristics, its diet, and its behavior in the ocean as well as the predation of the orca.

How did the Polynesians find their way to Hawaii, over two thousand miles from any other land? Was it over population at home, or political turmoil? Whatever reason for leaving these people used amazing knowledge and skill of the ocean and of the sky to navigate them to this new land. They faced the unknown and braved into the wide-open ocean for long periods of time. The real focus in this paper is on the navigation techniques that they used in these voyages throughout the Pacific.

Case #1, page 60: The Gray Whale versus the Makah Tribe, their decision to hunt the whale to instill pride in the traditions of its culture to younger generations, and the environmental impact of this action upon the sustainability of the gray whale population.

After days of being in that horrible box, it was finally opened, my hope had come true…. Or so i thought. We move further down below the deck and to my disappointment it got a lot worse. We were chained to these wood plains and had to lay down right next to each other (every inch of my body touching someone else's). It was so uncomfortable, but that wasn’t even the worst part…. It smelled horrible, liking taking everything in the world that smells bad and mixing it up together. This was because many had vomit due to the poor conditions not only that but you had to pee right there and then. Also, since we were in the sea… everyone one was getting toss around like toys which cause many to be sea-sick. All we can do now is pray … well not even that because all our energy was gone. We didn't have energy because we didn’t get fed and when we did it was the most awful rice and beans that look so nasty it makes you want to gag. I was tired and shut my eyes for a bit… when i opened them i noticed my friend was died, it made me cry so much; but i shortly stop because a crew member unchained me and took me out of the room. I was escorted to a room filled with white men they all used me like a toy and then made me witness a man getting hit with a whip on the back. Me not being the smartest decide to go and try to help but end up getting hit myself which hurt really bad. They would do dreadful

John Cabot was an explorer, who in 1497, was sent by King Henry VII to find a new trade route to Asia. John Cabot is being charged with Involuntary Manslaughter for the death of his crew. They left Bristol, England in May, and thus, their fate was made. The two crew members who will be out witnesses are Hugh Elyot and Robert Thorne. Our last, and final witness, is Akecheta, who is a chief of the Beothuk tribe. The ship was named the Matthew and had between 18-20 men on this ship.

While you could argue that practically everyone who has gone through the American education system has at least heard of Moby Dick, the whaling industry, a main element of the epic, is not so well known. In order to fully understand and appreciate this great work, it is in my opinion, important to have somewhat of an understanding of the industry which it is centered around. This is especially true because whaling was such a prominent, and important aspect of 19th century culture and although far less popular, still exists today. Throughout this essay I will give a brief history of whaling, discuss why it was such an important industry in the 19th century, talk about whaling in modern times, and lastly, tie it in to the novel.

When whaling was first started in America it was because the Basques had started hunting and trading products made from whales. First it was the Dutch that had followed them in their whaling and then the British followed them. Finally, America followed the British and soon the huge expedition had started to hunt whales for the oil inside them.

Comparative essay The two novels “Anne of Green Gables” and “Whale Rider” have various connections in their themes; both of them starts their tales with a girl. The gender inequality is a big issue for then, also now as well. People should bring more attention to this, this is very important to indicate, because the whole novels are also about them, about their personality, their family, their surroundings and what they do. And I will be talking about some of my thoughts like gender inequality and their personality etc in the space below.

Before the 1986 whaling moratorium Japan had one of the largest commercial whaling fleets although they also had a small scientific program. From 1954 to 1986 Japans scientific whaling programs killed 840 whales globally for scientific research however after 1986 Japan’s new larger Scientific whaling program killed over 8321 for research in 18 years 1986-2004, almost a tenfold increase in half the amount of time. All other nations undergoing scientific whaling research killed around 2100 whales between 1952-2005 (Gales, et al.,

The book Kojiki told about the first emperor of Japan eating whale meat(Joshua). Whaling industry had substantial development in whaling methods during the 17th century led by the Japanese. The reason for this developing trend in whaling industry is because whales are very resourceful in the byproducts they leave behind. “ The meat and fat could be sold and processed for human consumption. The baleen, or long thin strips of keratin in the whale’s mouth, had a wide range of applications since it functioned similarly to a horn as a material. The oil from whale blubber was used in oil lamps, soaps, and margarine”(Joshua). Japan’s dependence on whaling reached a new height in the 19th century, due to increased population density. The involvement of Japan in World War Two brought “an all-time high demand for whale meat in Japan”(Rupert). In 1947, whale meat made up 47% of all the meat consumed in Japan. The highest record year of production for the whaling industry in Japan was in 1962, where 226,000 tons of whale meat were consumed that year. As a result of this astonishing number, the International Whaling Commission had formed due to its intention of regulating the whaling

A whale was stranded on a Christchurch beach in 2009. It died, despite the desperate attempts to revive the mammal and assist it back into the water. Many residents of Southshore beach tried to keep the whale hydrated and and attempt to push the animal back to sea.Whaling began in the 11th century, when the Basques started hunting and trading products from the North Atlantic right whale (now one of the most endangered species of great whale). They were followed first by the Dutch and British, and later by the Americans, Norwegians and many other nations. Australia had a commercial Whaling industry until 1978. Japanese whaled mainly for humpback, right and grey whales, developed separately in small coastal communities. From the late nineteenth century onwards, advancements in technology, such as steam-powered boats and the harpoon gun, enabled Whalers to target more species with greater accuracy.

Kiakoura Whale Watch is a New Zealand,100% Maori owned company and located in small town of south island name Kaikoura which is two and a half hour drive from north northeast of Christchurch having a population of around 3500 Maori people. The WWK in New Zealand only year round whale watching operator as they do this by travelling to the destination by large boat vessels, which is sufficient enough to hold large number of people. Basically, it was started by four families in 1987 in order to attract large number of tourists in New Zealand and when there economy was suffering from a huge decline in their tourism. Their venture has been given primarily by the way in which their culture is structured. The main motive of Whale Watch Kaikoura(WWK) is to establish a constant , self sustainable and money related base for Maori Tribe. WWK success basically depends upon on its 4 main factors that are
