The Whalers
Head South
Sailing ships are on their way to the Antarctic. The Kosmos IV sailing from Sandefjord,
Norway, was the first floating factory to set
out for the annual whaling in the frozen wastes
Far South. Eight other ships are scheduled to
leave Norwegian ports in the next few weeks.
In addition to nine Norwegian whaling expeditions, Japan and Great Britain will send
three ships each. South Africa, the Netherlands
and the Soviet Union will send one each, and
there will be the Panama-registered 0 1 y m pic Challenger.
The whalers expect to catch about 15,000
whales before returning home. The limit is 15,500 blue whale units. A unit equals two fin
whales, or two and one-half humpback whales,
or six sei whales.
The fin whale hunt begins January 1 and
the blue whale season later next year. This is
done to enable the whales to grow larger and
yield more oil. The fate of a whale is thus
seen to be little better than that of the rooster
who is cock-o'-the-walk today and a feather
duster tomorrow.
More than 13,000 men will man the floating
factories, catcher vessels and three shore stations, most of them Norwegians who follow in
the footsteps—or the sea lanes—of their" hardy
forebears.
The whale catch is strictly regulated, on an
international basis, by the International Whaling commission and convention. I n s p e c t ors working closely with the Office for International Whaling Statistics, two for each expedition, see to it that the rules are obeyed. As a
further safeguard each expedition is required
to cable weekly reports to the statistical office
in Oslo.
Whale oil is still one of the most valuable
products known to man, hence the annual whale
hunts—the large factory ships, averaging 20,000
to 30,000 tons, the speedy catcher vessels which
cruise around looking for whales. Nowadays,
even helicopters are used in spotting the big
fellows of the sea, and, as was true at the beginning of the whaling industry, the m o s t
important person on board a whaling ship is the
master harpooner.
Whale oil is used in the manufacture of margarine, and pharmaceuticals, including A C T H,
soaps, candles and so on. Basically, whaling
has not changed much since the days of "Moby
pick," or the mythical days of that leviathan,
but methods have improved considerably.
Still, the whaler while at work leads a stirring
life, and surely, there is no other part of the
world less inviting for prolonged human habitation than the Antarctic—unless it is the icy
wastes of the Arctic.
All of which just goes to show that while
airplanes now skim across the Atlantic in one
night and the liners are just big floating hotels,
where a passenger is safer than he would be
traveling on a busy American highway, men
who go down to the sea in ships can still find
adventure there which most arm-chair travelers would rather read about than experience.
