What is the name of the one vessel that was later salvaged in 1872? --74.13.125.31 (talk) 21:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The bark Minerva - it was in the table, but I added it into the text with a citation. Thanks for pointing that out.Cbaer (talk) 22:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

"Death blow"
It might be advisable to rephrase or cite for "It dealt a death blow to the American whaling industry" - History of whaling indicates the practice went on at least until later in that decade, if not the next. Maybe even a sentence or two at the end of the article on the wider impact of the disaster? Biruitorul (talk) 21:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Quite right - that phrase has been bothering me as well. I'm going to go ahead and soften that a little bit.Cbaer (talk) 22:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Except, that phrase is entirely supported by the literature on the subject and is accurate. Viriditas (talk) 00:31, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The American open-boat whaling industry continued for another five decades. That's one long "death blow". It's an exaggeration at best. SaberToothedWhale (talk) 19:43, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
