EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - "Whaling in Deptford (Catching a whale off Deptford Pier)" in 1842. The image depicts a group of brave sailors embarking on the perilous task of catching a massive whale using harpoons, right off the shores of Deptford Pier. The scene is filled with tension and excitement as the men work together to secure their prized catch.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated, as it provides a glimpse into the dangerous yet vital practice of whaling during that time period. Whales were hunted for their valuable resources, such as oil and blubber, which were used for various purposes including lighting lamps and making soap.
Deptford Pier, located along the Thames River, served as a strategic location for these whalers to set out on their expeditions. The pier was bustling with activity as ships came and went, carrying out this challenging but necessary industry.
As we look back on this moment from over a century ago, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by both man and beast in pursuit of survival. This print from Mary Evans Picture Library serves as an important reminder of our shared history with marine life and the impact our actions have had on these magnificent creatures.
