Whaling ship "Arthur Pickering"--Brava

I just found a newspaper article from the Hawaiian Gazette dated 1868. It is a supreme court case, Joe Silva vs George W. Jenks. It is about back wages owed Joe Silva. It mentions he joined the ship at Brava, Cape Verde. I think that this is possibly my husband 3rd greatgrandfather. Are there any whaling records in Cape Verde? I need to know what village this Joe or Joseph Silva came from. Thank you very much.
