Blimey! I've had dreams of a pc game like that for years! A 19th century whaling sim actually, with the Old
White One thrown in as a climax to a "campaign" season of whaling hunting for oil and profit. Gotta visit inns
to get financing and a crew for a small ship. Short successful hunts make money and increase rep. Visit inns,
better financing & crews, bigger ship, more supplies, longer hunting season, more oil, etc. Crew morale, ship
condition, storms, towing ship in a calm, specialized crewmen, tech increases, course plotting...there's a LOT
of game there. Maybe even an "Essex" scenario where a beserk whale attacks your ship, and you get to play
either side! :-)  Of course this is all pie in the sky because unfortunately it would be wayyyyy too
politically incorrect in some circles. :-(
