Felix Lüttge’s “Auf den Spuren des Wals” (2020) is a history of maritime knowledge production by whalers and the whaling industry, and it traces how this knowledge was appropriated, abstracted and integrated into U.S. naval politics in the nineteenth century. It is well-written (in German) and full of interesting detail. I recommend the read especially to those interested in the history of science and oceanography, as well as the history of the United States as a naval power.
