25 true stories of the gay whalemen of the 1800s: the bunkmates, dancers and journal-keepers of four-year voyages, and the island men they met from Hawaii to Tahiti.

Your purchase keeps Gay Timeline going. The channel is independent and runs on its listeners. Every collection you get helps the channel keep going and makes the next true story possible. You are not just buying stories. You are helping keep these men’s names spoken.

One of the most-watched stories on the channel is Inside the All-Male Whaling Ships of Nantucket. You asked for more, so here is a whole collection about the men who loved each other on the whaling fleet. Every one of these 25 stories is members-only. You won't hear them on YouTube or anywhere else.
