My name is Adrian and I am doing a book report on The revenge of the Whale.
It is the story of the journey of the "Essex". I learned what they used the
whales for during the early 1800's. Can you tell me what is the use for the
whales they hunt nowadays ? specifically Japan and Norway.
Thanks
Dear Adrian,
The primary use for whales currently hunted is their meat. It is still
considered a delicacy in Japan, and in Norway it is tradition to eat whale
meat (sort of like the US having Turkey on Thanksgiving).
Good luck with your report.
Sincerely,
