Field notes
The first module is framed around American whaling from 1784 to 1920, with logbook encounters, prices, and published catch records brought into the same account. The homepage says that nearly half a million daily entries underpin the series and links both a Zenodo replication record and CC BY 4.0 source data. Two further modules—population reconstructions and North Atlantic fisheries—are labeled as coming soon.
