  <dc:title>David Hawthorn Cardno, whaler: journals of whaling and sealing voyages</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Collection of seven volumes of memoirs, one volume about inuit life and another volume with pasted-in photographs and newspaper cuttings describing David Cardno's artic experiences. Journals start with a re-telling of events from 1866 describing  the author's first trip to the Artic as a stow away aboard the Lord Saltoun.  He sailed on many of the noted whaling ships to the Cumberland Sound, Greenland and Iceland, including the Lord Saltoun (Captain Murray and Adams), the Xanthus (Captain James Davidson), the Esquimau (Captain Yule), Jan Mayen, Active (Captain Salmon), Star (Captain Salmon), Polar Star (Captain Salmond), Eric (Captain Alex Gray), Windward (Captains Murray and David Gray) and the Active and Balaena (Captain Robertson of Dundee). While manager at Kekerten whaling station in Cumberland Sound, Baffin Island, he wrote these memoirs, completing them in 1930.</dc:description>
