Description
Real photo postcard, a harpooned whale off the coast of Santa Catalina Island, September 1929. A whaling ship docked at the pier with a large blue whale in the water in front of it. A man stands on top of the whale with a harpoon in hand. The object is in good to fair condition due to the moderate discoloration and minor surface soiling.
