67: 1871 Timeline Twist & The Whaling Disaster of 1871
Description
On today’s episode, Valerie touches on the Ku Klux Klan Act and the Franco-Prussian War, including an unpleasant but likely necessary Paris Seige Menu, new releases of some favorite foods, maybe the first essential oil diffuser, and a historical Easter-Egg laden 1871 Italian map (along with Reddit comments) in the Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo tells the gross and gory details of the story of the Whaling Disaster of 1871, where 33 whaling ships were caught in a precarious situation due to their own bravado and stupidity. We discuss a little whaling history, and the tie-in to Moby Dick as well as just how bad it had to have smelled on those lengthy voyages, just so we could light up our cities. We’re looking at you Paris.
