Whalers historically ventured far from their home ports, reaching remote areas of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans in search of whales. In the 19th century, whaling ships could travel thousands of miles, often spending several years at sea, with notable whaling grounds located off the coasts of New England, the Falkland Islands, and the Bering Sea. Some expeditions even reached the whaling grounds around the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Pacific. The pursuit of lucrative species like sperm whales and right whales drove these extensive voyages.
