About the author

Edouard A. Stackpole was an American journalist, museum curator, whaling historian, and author.

Born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, a descendant of a family of whalers, Stackpole graduated from Roxbury Latin School in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. He worked for several years as a printer, reporter, and editor at newspapers in Nantucket.

He was Curator Emeritus of the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut from 1951 to 1966. He published 28 books and monographs, largely about whaling and the history of Nantucket.

He was a marine historian for over three decades, and was awarded two Guggenheim fellowships for his two-volume book The Sea Hunters. Numerous articles by Mr. Stackpole have appeared in the World Book and Grolier encyclopedias as well as in magazines and newspapers.

In a review of the book in The New York Times, Orville Prescott wrote, "Everything about whaling that Herman Melville couldn't cram into Moby-Dick is now crammed into The Sea Hunters. "
