Harpoon

Fortune seeking on the seaWhaling, it's not a thing many people do anymore. But back in the day, when whale blubber was how the world got its lamplight, it was a popular profession for many sailors. This profession set the turbulent setting of Moby Dick and no wonder, it was a tough and dangerous job. There are still reality shows about fishing on the high seas but imagine trying to catch the largest animal on earth with nothing but harpoons from the flimsy surface of a wooden ship. Now, don't get us wrong. We're always rooting for the whales. But when it came to life on a whaling ship, you had to feel for the sailors that were just trying to get by. Product DetailsThis Harpoon is designed by our house designers. With the tip and the staff, it measures to be approximately sixty inches tall.
