SOLVED. YA Adventure aboard an obsolete whaling ship. [s]

[Steve]

YA Adventure novel, vaguely recall it being part of a series.

Premise: Obsolete whaling ship brought into service. Goes to sea, whales are hunted, adventure ensues. At the end of the book experiences on the obsolete vessel are contrasted with a "modern" factory whaling ship.

I read this as a child in the mid-eighties, but book must have been written substantially before then.

Can you remember anything about the main character? I'm assuming a boy? Teenager?

What time period was the book set in? Do you remember the country?

Steve, still looking or did you find this?

[Steve]

Jenny was correct. The book was Whale Adventure by Willard Price.
