Castle Bay Whaling Co - Point Piquet, Western Australia

"In September 1836 I was becalmed in a small cutter off Point Piquet for a day and a half; from thence they [the whales] were to be seen in all directions, sporting over a large expanse as smooth as a mirror. What success would have attended the well directed efforts of two or three whalers' stations on the heights may be supposed. "

 

Now thankfully, we hunt the whales with cameras.
