WHALING CAPTAINS OF COLOR: America's First Meritocracy

The previously untold story of whaling's leaders of color in an era when the only other option was slavery. One of the first American industries to exhibit diversity, whaling allowed a man to become a captain not because he was white or well connected, but because he knew how to kill his prey. He could also learn navigation, reading, and writing. Photos.
