Oil painting entitled 'The ships Vigilant"" and ""Harpooner"" offshore', 'Harpooner' being on the right. Both were South Sea whalers belonging jointly to Green, Wigrams and Green (a partnership which was formed in 1829), and were built by them at Blackwall. 'Harpooner', 398 tons (though soon re-registered at 405), was built in 1830 and 'Vigilant', 403 tons, in 1831. This was just after George Green became involved in whaling, by W. Huggins 1832." | |
