"Whale Hunting with Gun and Camera" by Roy Chapman Andrews is a naturalist's account of the modern shore whaling industry written in the early 20th century. The book investigates cetaceans, their habits, and the author's personal hunting experiences across various international waters. Andrews aims to blend scientific observation with the thrilling narratives of his adventures, providing insight into the immense creatures and the burgeoning whaling industry's impact on both nature and science. The opening of "Whale Hunting with Gun and Camera" sets the stage for the author's exploration of modern whaling practices and personal experiences. Andrews introduces the reader to the whaling stations he visited and outlines the significance of photographic documentation in studying whales. He shares his anticipation for his first whale hunt aboard a steam whaling ship, describing the journey through the foggy waters approaching a whaling station in Canada. The narrative highlights the interplay between excitement and the harsh realities of hunting these magnificent creatures, foreshadowing the detailed accounts of Andrews' subsequent hunts and the scientific insights that will unfold throughout the text.
