T1 - The last whale : rise and demise of shore-based whaling in the Cape Verde Islands T2 - Zoologia Caboverdiana = Revista da Sociedade Cabo Veriana de Zoologia N2 - For two centuries, the seas of the Cape Verde archipelago were a favorite whaling ground – known as the ‘San Antonio Ground’ among whalers – for an international fleet of whaling ships and especially for the "Yankee whalers" from New England, USA. One of their main targets was the humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae, of which large numbers were caught (e.g. Clark 1887, Townsend 1935, Reeves et al. 2002, Smith & Reeves 2003, 2010).
