Our story continues in Chapter 32 titled Cetology.

Here we learn more about our narrator Ishmael's sense of humor and his need to share his world of whaling by thus focusing on the categorization and classification of whales.

We learn about how this is considered a snapshot into the 1850s, a time of much interest in science and growing knowledge.

We also discuss a few whales that were listed under the common name, but modern day has discovered their true names.

What a fun little reprieve in our journey!

Next time, we continue our journey in whaling!
