Description
19TH CENTURY WHALING LANCE REPLICA
Replica of a 19th century whaling lance, hand-forged iron, 43" long (lacking lashing and wooden pole), unmarked, with a 2" oblong head. Fine patina, in excellent condition. The lance was used to deliver the killing blow to the whale once it had been harpooned. This blow would cause the whale's lungs to fill with blood and the blood to spout from the blowhole. The whale men would declare that the whale's "chimney was afire," signaling a successful strike. A nide display piece.
