Six Whalers From B.C.
Hope To Harnoon
600 Whales This Season
COAL HARBOR, British Col
umbia, C?)—Six sturdy boats hoist
ed anchor here Wednesday to
start tho northern Pacific Coast’s
only whale hunt.
They’ll range 100 to 200 miles
from the shore station deep in
Quatsino Sound, on the northwest
coast of Vancouver Island.
In a six-month season 600 or
more humpback, finback, blue
and sperm whales will fall under
their harpoons.
B.C. Packers Ltd., owners, took
over whaling operations in 1948
from another company when the
business was about to be written
off as a worthless venture.
Since then, only one season has
been profitable. But the- company
continues wTith a determination
to make its large-scale investment
worthwhile.
Crews of five vessels harpooned
and landed 539 whales last year, in
a season cut short two. weeks by
a Pacific storm.
