  <abstract>Letters written by Tucker to his parents in Dartmouth, Mass., while a crew member of the bark Roscius, capt. Frederick S. Howland, New Bedford, Mass., on a whaling voyage (1858-1861) to the Atlantic Ocean and of the bark Sea Fox, capt. John Horan, Westport, Mass., on a voyage (1861-1863) to the Pacific Ocean.  Tucker described life at sea and wrote of homesickness and his desire for news from home.  Includes a letter (1875 October 12-30) from his brother, Samuel J. Tucker, to their mother while on a whaling voyage (1875-1877) to the Pacific Ocean aboard the bark Hunter, capt. Charles L. Holt, New Bedford, Mass.</abstract>
