520    In 1871, an entire fleet of whaling ships was caught in an
       arctic ice storm and destroyed. Though few lives were lost,
       the damage would forever shape one of America's most 
       distinctive commodities: oil.New Bedford, Massachusetts, 
       was fertile ground for this country's first multimillion-
       dollar industry. Founded by assiduous Quaker merchants 
       seeking refuge for their austere religion, the town also 
       lent unparalleled access to the high seas. The combination
       would lead to what would become the most successful 
       whaling industry in America, and with it, the world's 
       first oil hegemony. Oyl, or oil derived from whale blubber,
       revolutionized New England commerce. And as intrepid New 
       Bedford whalers ventured farther into uncharted waters in 
       search of untapped resources, the town saw incomparable 
       wealth. But with all of the town's resources tethered to 
       this dangerous industry and the fickle sea, success was 
       fragile.Final Voyage is the story of one fateful whaling 
       season that illuminates the unprecedented rise and 
       devastating fall of America's first oil industry. Peter 
       Nichols deftly captures what New Bedford life was like for
       its Quaker inhabitants and, using a wealth of primary 
       resources, has created a vivid picture of the evolution of
       whaling and how its demise was destined even before that 
       devastating voyage.
