A stark reminder of a terrible business. Just a rusting hulk in 2009 I
presume? My maternal grandfather (Swedish) was a marine engineer with the
old Union Whaling Company which operated from Durban. He spent about 7
months each year in Antarctica. There were many photos in his albums of
whale catchers like that, crows-nest, harpoon gun and all. Some were used as
sub chasers along the Natal coast by the SA navy during WW2. My father was
on the T33 when it ran aground at the Umgeni river mouth in 1942 during a
gale. Whaling operations ceased in 1953.

Subject: PESO - the one that flickr picked
As per another thread...
This photo had its moments of attention at Flickr a couple of days ago.
It's an oldie from my trip to Antarctica in 2009 that I have submitted to a
photo contest. If the flickr reaction is anything to go by, maybe it will
do well... :-)
