| Description: | TRAILING THE WHALE A whaling ship harpoons a huge whale and brings it back to the shore. "Trailing the whale. Most romantic - and arduous - of all hunts, when boats were pulled and harpoons were thrown. Today, power driven ships with harpoon guns trail the world's greatest mammal." Various shots of a whaling ship at sea. A whale is seen, fairly near to the boat. The whalers shoot a harpoon out towards it, then haul it in to the side of the boat. We then see the huge whale being pulled along the beach while people stand watching. | |
