Whales and Harlingen

Whale hunt
Whale hunt

Spitsbergen had been

The hunting ground

For sailors from Harlingen

Until 1873

Many sperm whales

Ended up in the local harbor

Made the city rich

One day the business sizzled

A statue in the harbor remains

and the stories of a captain

Marooned with the Inuit

As the ship got frozen in
