Transatlantic Whaling

nav_transatlantic_whaling

For four centuries the fishermen of San Sebastián, Bermeo, and Lekeitio have hunted the Biscay right whale in the Cantabrian Sea, perfecting the harpoon, the try pot, and the open boat pursuit. Pressed by overhunting close to home, our crews now sail to Newfoundland and the Strait of Belle Isle, building seasonal txalupa tryworks at Red Bay and trading whale oil to England and the Hanseatic League. Our long-range whalers keep the Basque coast present in the Atlantic decades before any other European fleet ventures regularly into North American waters.
