We looked at the harpoon that killed all the whales. Then we went under the ship to see the explosives. After we got off we went to the cutting up deck.
At the cutting up deck they cut up little bits of the blubber from the whale to put in the boilers to cook them. This turns the blubber into oil and other stuff like fertiliser. Only men did it because it was very disgusting. The next place we went to was a place where we watched a show. It was called spectra vision theatre. It was about the day of the whaling station. We also watched a movie called Giants Existed it was about whales and how they protect there babies. They stopped whaling in 1978. Now all whales are protected.

ReplyDeleteI really liked this description especially the part about only the men doing the cooking of the blubber because it was such a disgusting job. Makes up for them not having to have babies which is a pretty hard (though not disgusting!) job :)
