One photograph of the whaling industry. Handwritten caption on the back reads: ‘Modern factory ships are equipped with a slipway in the stern, up which the whales are hauled bodily to be ‘flensed’ [remove blubber from flesh] - not up on deck. This picture shows the muse tackle used.' Back of the image includes annotations. [This photograph is very graphic]
