• Resumen

  • Most of the existing research on Georgian Liverpool’s whaling activities has focused onthe northern whaling trade around the Arctic and Greenland. However, this articlesheds new light by exploring the port’s other whaling activities–namely, the southernwhalefishery. In doing so, this short research note expands the geography of Liverpool’swhaling industry and suggests that it may have had ties to the port’s most notoriousactivity–transatlantic slavery.
