Abstract
The 19th century whaling industry was dominated by the United States while the 20th century

industry had its origins in Norway and was dominated for years by that nation.

The focus of the paper, is to explore the relationship between the two so-called hegemonic

whaling nations. Specifically, we are looking for encounters between the two industries that

in one way or another may explain why the Norwegians did not enter into traditional pelagic

whaling in the mid 19th century, and why the Americans did not enter “modern” whaling that

emerged in the latter part of that century.
