This photograph captures a piece of history frozen in time. The image showcases a print of "Harpoons for whaling, 19th century" displayed at the Whaling Museum in Sandefjord, Norway. The harpoons, crafted by an unknown artist during the 19th century, stand as powerful symbols of the once-thriving whaling industry.

Each harpoon is meticulously designed with sharp edges and a sturdy arm, reflecting both functionality and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of humanity's complex relationship with nature. Sandefjord's Whaling Museum serves as a testament to Norway's rich maritime heritage and its historical involvement in whaling practices.
