Whaling industry,mid-20th century
Whaling industry,mid-20th century. Whalers slicing blubber sliced from the body of a dead humpback whale. This is the first stage in cutting up a whale. A chain and cable are attached to the blubber. A whaler is using a 'cutting-spade' tool to cut off the blubber (fat layer),which is being pulled off the carcass by a steam winch. After hunting and killing a whale,whalers process the carcass for the oil,blubber and meat. Whale hunting reached a peak in the early 20th century,with up to 40,000 whales killed per year. Fears of extinction led to the signing of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (1946). Photographed by the US Coast Guard between 1935 and 1945
