TobyCoulson Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Anyone else been watching this on BBC4? Fascinating but very unpleasant viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I thought it was one of the best things on telly last week. Much more interesting than I thought it would be. While I knew they were large operations I didn't realise that the whaling stations were that large and that they had just been abandoned like that and are now somewhat frayed around the edges time capsules.

Bricol Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 There are some very good websites I stumbled on a couple of years ago about the whaling stations that are now abandoned at the ends of the earth. Some still complete with new equipment for the ships still on the store shelves, together with raw materials, steel etc for repairs. On one island, a couple still lived and ran a museum, the only visits being cruise ships. Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
