Legendary leviathan. Like an albatross, it seemed nearly impossible that it could even take off, skimming waves at increasing speed, revving up its four engines. Inside staterooms, dining area, bunk beds. Boarding from a dock or using a shipOs tender, it was the 1930s epitome of class and luxury. That was leisure travel and luxury at the same time, never to come back in that measure. 57.5 x 80 x 14cm, 22.5 x 31.5 x 5.5"

Whalers had no equal in handling an open boat at sea. At a time when whales were still plentiful as well as fair game, they were hunted in relatively small open rowboats. They approached a whale closely so as not to miss with a toothpick-like harpoon. At least when comparing it with the bulk of a seventy foot long leviathan sperm whale. And the Kings of the Sea didn't take kindly to being hunted, giving rise to the shanty of the harpooner: A Dead Whale or a Stove Boat. The whaleboat rode the waves like an albatross. For lightness, grace and speed it simply had no peer. The buckets held up to a mile of line. The harpooner would stand on the stern holding his harpoon. A successful throw might mean a long chase, the whale taking the boat in tow. The harpoon line would be belayed on a single pollard on the deck. The double ends made it easy to move in two directions, a slap of the tail of an angry whale had better be avoided.... Our hand built whaleboat is built lap strake planks-on-frame. Whaling tools in amazing detail. Measures 36.25" x 8" x 40.5"
