James Bartley: podcast appearances and interviews

James Bartley (1870–1909) is known for a story from the late nineteenth century in which he was allegedly swallowed whole by a sperm whale. According to reports, he was found alive several days later inside the whale's stomach after the creature was killed by harpooning. The story first appeared anonymously in American newspapers, including the St. Louis Globe Democrat, and was subsequently published in other newspapers under titles such as 'A Modern Jonah' and similar headlines. The tale received international attention when it was reprinted in newspapers like the Yarmouth Mercury in England, with headlines highlighting the extraordinary nature of the event. The story of James Bartley's ordeal has been remembered as a notable maritime legend from that era.
