Following the talk of Rev. Mr. Ab- bott, Toastmaster Clark inform the men that they were indeed lucky to have with them this meeting a New London man who was to tell them sh stories;” yes, and 4 man who had a “whale” of a story to tell them. He then introduced Judge Alfred Coit of New London, who responded to the introduction given by Mr. Clark with the remark that in days gone by Nor- wich and New London used to vie with each other in seeing w] towns could hand the neatest lickings: to any citizens of either cit who dared enter the other's territory with- | out having a bodyguard in attendance. These days, howéver, he stated. h: passed, never return, and now > London and Norwich have much common and a great friendshiv has sprung up between the two cities. ' | The subject of Judge Coit's addres was The History of the Whaling In- dustry in New London, and a few of, the facts hrouszht to the attention of his listeners re as follows: History of New Tondon and of the world shows that New London by means of the whalers who sailed from her har bor was at one time known throughout the world as one of the bizgest whal- ing ports of New England. and in making this statement Judge Coit read a brief extract from the address of! Edmund-Burke to the English parlia- | ment in 1775, when Burke told of the history of the fishing indvstry snd how much the colories, especially New England, bhad entered. into the fishing, industry, of which whaling had become an_important part. Jud=e Coit took un therhistory the whaling industry in New T.ondon; 1794 to its end late in; The first whaling vessel to set sail from New London was the Commerce, and in the vear 1805 Dr. S. H. P. Lee, of that city, a man who had stuck to his post duri the yel- low fever epidemic of 1798, purchased and fitted out three vessels which he sent out. The golden age of the whaling indrstry i ew London, however, did not beg! until 1148 when Major Thomas Williams, son of General Williams of Stonington, fitted out the brig Mary and established his; wharves where the electric light piant now stands on Water street. Soon after that 2 Norwich lad, Henry P. Haven, who had moved to that city| with his mother, entered the whaling! business. When the United States) government nurchased Alaska, Haven' was sent to Honolulu, from whence he ! sent ships to the Alaskan ters which carried the flag of this country for the first time into those seas. Dur- ing that year some 45,000 1 skins were obtained and sent to this coun-| try and Haven and other Americans urchased the riehts of whaling those waters. The public librarv of New London was presented to that| cltv by Mrs. Anna Perkivs, daughter of Mr. Haven. Soon after this John P. Rice of New Londen was sent into thes nd 13 other whaling ships New Tondon overated in Alaskan waters. riam Frink took up the whaling business and carried on a trade with the West Indies. Other companies followed and nearly all ¢ The captains of the els were given thority of their cruise and their word became law on board their Many men who how they could hecome ing whaling expeditions came fo New London and shipped for a cruise, but upon their return found that they ha simply been building castles in the air. The nrofits derived from the whaling I tween the company and the men: The captain received 1-6 of a lay (share) and the men received 1-200 of a lay. which when figured on a cruiss of 42 months meant that the captain’s share if a good catch had been made would be about $2,580, or about $84 per month, while the men received abont $220, or about $5.50 ner month while they were gone. Indeed, in cases when the men returned to their homes after a three years' cruise it was found that their vas about one big round iron dollar. because their clothes had to be hought from the companies’ chest and after three years in the ope nth ad pur- share of the money had been spent before tey returned to their homes. Shortly after the end of the Civil war and just after the Confederate ship Shenandoah had destroyed 34 whaling shins by fire the industry in New London began to fail. reason given for this failure, however, was that the price of fittinz out ships had increased so much and the need of making long trins had become neces- sary that even though good catch had been made there was little profit for the companies. From 1846, which marked the high tide -of the whaling industry in New London. until th close of the ’80s the industry in that city steadily died away until at the present date we find no whalers in the harbor. When the industrv was at full height there were some 2,500 vessels engaged in the whaling industry and City Court over 70,0 persons dependent unon it There was oné. case /i ithis: ity LIeanelr liying.

The price of oil, however, had gone down tremendously due to the dis- covery of natural oii. Whalebone the other hand had gone from. eight cents a pound in 1820 to $6.50 per pound in 1830 and at pre the in- dustry is carried on for reason alone. Judge Coit then told of the race be- thi. tween the New London whalers and those of Ilarbor to eir | { harpoons into 2 whale first and how ; many times it became necessary share their oil and blubber ob between crews of these two ports. An interesting assortment of the old gongs that were sung by the whalers to hoist sail and reef sail were sung at the meeting by Walter F, and F. W.

This cause of rejoiclig was because the crews of almost any whaling vessel would give sufficient votes to any one side to swing the election. . Judge Coit’s address on the "Whal- ing Days of New London closed with @ tribute to Mrs, ‘Jennie Williams, formerly of Norwich who long since left a fund for the use of old sailors and their widows.
