Unregulated Sealing in the Falkland Islands
View through CrossRef
This chapter explores the unregulated sealing practices that took place in the Falkland Islands. It discusses the intermingling of political and economic conditions of the sealing and whaling industries, plus expansion of whale oil trade to include seal oil and the oil of any viable creature of the sea. It follows the American and British interests in Falkland seal products and the development of trade between the two nations. It also examines the growth of the market, details the significant voyages of the period, and keeps the political and wartime activities of North and South Atlantic nations at the forefront of the discussion. The chapter concludes in 1820, with severely depleted seal stocks in the Falklands area leading to governmental efforts of regulation in attempt to address sealers who ignored depleting seal stocks in favour of the fortune the trade provided.
