      Salvesen & Co. were a Scottish firm out of Leith, although the family originally came from Mandal, Norway. They operated the factory ships "Southern Venturer" and "Southern Harvester" post WWII. The "Balaena" (1946) belonged to Hector Whaling/United Whaling. Hector and United were holding companies with managers Bugge & Krogh Hansen of Tønsberg, Norway.

    Not even 20 years after the invention of the Harpoon cannon and the advent of modern factory chips, species like the Humpback and the Southern Right whale were so badly affected that even in the 1920's people were going "Save the whales"

    The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
    Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    She'd not been two weeks from shore
    When down on her a right whale bore
    The captain called all hands and swore
    He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum

    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Before the boat had hit the water
    The whale's tail came up and caught her
    All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
    When she dived down low (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    No line was cut, no whale was freed

    But still that whale did go (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
    The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
    The Wellerman makes his regular call
    To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)

    I’m just a Kentuckian never been to Sea and never touched a whale let alone see one in person. The only opinion I have of this video is that it’s very interesting. Like the situation of the alligator snapping turtle man took advantage of what the almighty had put before him to survive for many years and it led to passing laws for conservation purposes but they found that they were so slow growing that they couldn’t keep up to multiply enough to balance out for the turtle trappers to continue with a season so that led to full time protection and considered endangered. No doubt the traditions of what used to be are hard to let go but everything happens for a reason and that’s what became of whaling all around.
