Abstract
The seasonal distributions of humpback and blue whales (Megupteru novaeungliae and Balaenoptera musculus, respectively) in the North Atlantic Ocean are not fully understood. This paper investigates the historical seasonal distributions and migratory behaviour of these two species using sighting and catch data from American whaling logbooks of the 18th and 19th centuries.
