The book provides a detailed account of pelagic sealing, which refers to the hunting of seals in open water, as well as the fur seals found on the Guadeloupe, Galapagos, and Lobos Islands. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the history of pelagic sealing, including its origins, methods, and impact on seal populations. Townsend provides a detailed description of the ships and equipment used in pelagic sealing, as well as the techniques employed by sealers to capture and kill seals. He also discusses the economic and social factors that drove the pelagic sealing industry, including the demand for seal skins and the competition between different nations and companies.The second part of the book focuses on the fur seals of Guadeloupe, the Galapagos, and Lobos Islands. Townsend provides a detailed description of the physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat of these seals, as well as their history of exploitation by humans. He also discusses the efforts that have been made to protect these seals and their habitats, including the establishment of protected areas and the regulation of hunting.Overall, Pelagic Sealing: With Notes On The Fur Seals Of Guadeloupe, The Galapagos, And Lobos Islands (1899) is an important historical document that provides a comprehensive overview of pelagic sealing and the fur seals of these three islands.
