I'm pretty sure that whale meat is ...Hey Ben...<br />I'm pretty sure that whale meat is good to eat. At least, I would think so!<br /><br />Of course, the oil was the biggest industry of the day!<br /><br />I'll do a little research on the whale meat and let you know!<br /><br />Thanks, buddy, for coming by today!<br /><br /><br />Hey Sixbears...<br />Looks like the Fates were certainly working against them that time!<br /><br />Interesting that your wife's family was in the business, but I would imagine that was one of the leading employers of the era, at least on the eastern coast!<br /><br />Scary way to make a living!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping in this morning!<br /><br /><br />Hey Momlady...<br />So many people are trying to convince the Japanese to give up whaling, to no avail!<br /><br />There must still be a lot of money in it. That seems to be the driving force behind so many industries now days...as always!<br /><br />Thanks for coming over this morning!<br /><br /><br />Hey Glock Mom...<br />Man just insist on trying to profit off of the killing of other species.<br /><br />Killing for food is one thing, but to kill a creature for profit is so uncalled for!<br /><br />Almost caused the demise of the American Bison!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by this morning, my friend!<br /><br /><br />Hey JoJo...<br />I'm sure that most of the men accepted the risk before they ventured out! Still, like you say, to die in that fashion was not pleasant!<br /><br />The weather? At 10:30 this morning...it's almost 80 degrees!<br /><br />So much for our Winter! Maybe some rain later, though!<br /><br />Thanks, sweetie, for coming by today!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-27822555702060038842011-11-20T08:57:39.740-06:002011-11-20T08:57:39.740-06:00That was a horrible way to die.

I watch the show Whale Wars, and like Momlady, I would love to see one sink a Japanese ship...Jacked Up Glock Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859265951050692498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-3308803619024440432011-11-20T07:43:05.414-06:002011-11-20T07:43:05.414-06:00Whaling is still going on....by the Japanese.

Ironically, it's the fear of landing on cannibal islands that caused them to take the long way home -thus causing their own cannibalism. <br /><br />My wife's family were Nantucket whalers back in the day.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-80139073988390209522011-11-20T06:00:30.661-06:002011-11-20T06:00:30.661-06:00Payback is hell Huh? :-) I'm surprised we don...Payback is hell Huh? :-) I'm surprised we don't read about more ships having been sunk by whales. <br />Other that the blubber melted down for oil.

I agree 100% man has lost respect for the power of Mother Nature and this is an example of her reminder. Sorry I have not been by to visit in awhile. Hope the coffee pot has at least one more hot cup for this tardy guest. ;) Always do enjoy the topics.The Unusual Farmchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648809202485927305noreply@blogger.com
