Right Whaling in Bering Straits & Arctic Ocean with its Varieties, pub. 1871 - A Glimpse into the Thrilling World of Arctic Whaling
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the harsh and unforgiving waters of the Bering Straits and Arctic Ocean, where brave sailors embarked on daring expeditions to hunt and capture majestic right whales. This colour lithograph from 1871 offers a vivid depiction of this perilous industry. In this historic image, we witness an open boat whaling scene amidst towering iceflows. The illustration showcases the immense skill required as sailors navigate treacherous icy waters while hunting these magnificent creatures. With their trusty harpoons at hand, they face both danger and excitement as they pursue their prey. The print also provides a glimpse into life aboard whaling ships, highlighting the arduous task of rendering blubber after successfully capturing a whale. The process involved meticulously extracting valuable oil for commercial use while preserving other parts such as whale bone for various purposes. Beyond just whales, this artwork reveals other inhabitants of this remote region; walruses can be seen basking on rocky islands nearby. These animals were not only hunted for their ivory tusks but also served as a source of sustenance for weary sailors during long voyages. This remarkable piece from the Historica Graphica Collection transports us back to an era when man's quest for resources led them to conquer even the most inhospitable environments. It serves as a testament
