OBITUARIES JAY REEVES Associated Press Roughly 15 years before Herman Melville intro- duced the world to Moby Dick, a whaling ship from Massachusetts sank near the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Nearly 190 years later, experts say, still the only whaler known to have gone down in the Gulf of Mex- ico, where the threat of en- slavement at Southern ports posed a risk for Black and mixed-race men who often were part of whaling crews. Researchers checking out odd shapes during undersea scanning work on the sandy ocean floor believe finally found the shipwreck about 70 miles offshore from Pascagoula, Missis- sippi. It was documented in February by remotely oper- ated robots in about 6,000 feet of water. Not much is left of the two-masted wooden brig thought to be Industry, a 65-foot-long whaler that foundered after a storm in 1836. An old news clipping found in a library shows its 15 or so crew members were rescued by another whaling ship and returned home to Westport, Massachusetts, said researcher Jim Delgado of SEARCH Inc.
or, The White pub- lished in 1851, told the story of American whaling from a Northeastern view. The discovery of Industry shows how whaling extended into a region where relatively lit- tle is known about whaling despite the extensive maritime history. Gulf is an undersea museum of some incredi- bly well-preserved said Delgado of SEARCH who a few years ago helped identify the remains of the last known U.S. slave ship, the Clotilda, in muddy river waters just north of Mobile, Alabama. The find also sheds light on the way race and slavery became entangled in the maritime economy, said historian Lee Blake, a descendant of Paul Cuffe, a prominent Black whaling captain who made at least two trips aboard the Indus- try.
Southern slave owners felt threatened by mixed- race ship crews coming into port, she said, so they tried to prevent enslaved people from seeing whites, Blacks, Native Americans and oth- ers, all free and working to- gether for equal pay. were a whole series of regulations and laws so that if a crew came into a Southern port and there were a large number of mixed-raced or African American crew members on board, the ship was impounded and the crew members were taken into custody until it said Blake, president of the New Bedford Historical Society in Massachusetts. Black crew members also could be abducted and enslaved, she said. Images of Industry cap- tured by NOAA Ocean Exploration aboard the research ship Okeanos Ex- plorer show the outline of a ship along with anchors and metal and brick remnants of a stove-like contrap- tion used to render oil from whale blubber at sea, ele- ments Delgado described as key evidence that the wreck was a whaling vessel. The Industry photos pale in comparison to those re- cently released of Endur- ance, which sank in 10,000 feet of frigid Antarctic water a century ago and is incred- ibly well preserved.
Bottles believed to date to the early 1800s are visible around In- dustry, but no name- plate; what appears to be modern fishing line lies near the metal tryworks used to produce oil from whale fat. The Gulf was a rich hunting ground for sperm whales, which were es- pecially valuable for the amount and quality of their oil, before the whaling industry collapsed in the late 19th century, said Judith Lund, a whaling his- torian and former curator at the New Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusetts. the 1790s there were more whales than they could pluck out of the Gulf of she said in an interview. While at least 214 whal- ing voyages ventured into the Gulf, Lund said, ships from the Northeast rarely made extended port calls in Southern cities like New Orleans or Mobile, Alabama, because of the threat to crew members who white. That may may have been a reason the whaling ship that rescued Indus- crew took the men back to Massachusetts, where slavery was outlawed in the 1780s, rather than landing in the South.
people who whaled in the Gulf of Mexico knew it was risky to go into those ports down there because they had mixed said Lund. Wreck of sunken whaler found 190 years later NOAA OCEAN EXPLORATION This image taken by nOaa Ocean Exploration in February 2022 shows what researchers believe to be the wreck of the only whaling ship known to have sunk in the Gulf of Mexico. The two-masted brig Industry went down in 1836 about 70 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi river. an anchor and bottles believed to date to the early 1800s are visible.
