Here is the list of equipment a typical whaleboat would have carried. With five crewmen and with the mast and sails stowed aboard, it must have been pretty crowded.

No doubt about that David! I have wooden kit of Charles W. Morgan on the bench and a whaleboat on que (both by Model Shipways). Facinating times those were and pretty brave men to carry out their line of livelyhood.

That job had a little too much variety for my taste.

Good painting and new one to me. Whaling boat has been an on-and-off stage for few years. Lot of variety there too. Recently I made a brief effort with it and tried to to do one of her whaleboats. I post a picture if you are interested.

Thanks for both images, David.

I love that sort of pen and ink explanatory drawing and have been pouring over this one and comparing it to your superb model.

I've been away from the forum for a long time, I'm making up for it now, so this thread is new to me ...
The boat is very nice, congratulations!

Regards, Joe

I found an unobtainable ABC model of a whale hunt similar to the painting.
