Today in History
From The New York Times, on this day in 1884:
...A whale was sporting in the waters off the south side of the island [Nantucket]... But alas! there was scarcely a vestige of whaling gear upon the island, so no effort could be made to capture his whaleship...
Interesting usage here. "...his whaleship..." as in his Lordship? Whaleship meaning whaleness? His whaleness in and of itself. I can think of many other occasions to apply this phrase!
