The Stern Slipway and Thelity Ras and Whaling Technology

Norwegians perfected a few things like the exploding harpoon gun, which actually sent a grenade into a whale eploded inside its body. So that was one of the major changes that took place. The other was the stern slipway fr which you just mentioned. And this was a classical industrial piece of technology which allowed whales to be winched on board the whale ship. It meant that you didn't have to process whales either on in the ocean on the side of the ship or ashore at factories.
