Ambassador to the Penguins: A Naturalist's Year Aboard a Yankee Whaleship
reviewed My thoughts on + 407 more book reviews


This book combined many of my interests - ships, Antarctica, the naturalist's wonder and interest in the animal world. I liked following Murphy's voyages both literal as he learned about the ways of whaling on the brig Daisy and emotional as he wished to get home to his new wife, Grace.
