Chapter 3


Chapter 3
                In this chapter the crew got their first “taste” of whale blood. They were able to harvest their first whale off the coast of Argentina. It goes on to describe rather vividly they procedure in processing a sperm whale. (pg. 49) The blubber is cut up and thrown a board to be packed in large blubber barrels; next the massive head was removed to collect the oil in the cranial cavity. Though interesting, I found this rather brutal. I do realize that it is no different than hunting deer or caribou, but I just found it disgusting the amount of pleasure the men found it burning the excess blubber.

  1. The comics I hate are thieves. Nothing's more disgusting than a guy who steals another person's ideas and tries to claim them as his own. See the link below for more info.
