    It’s a panga-demick. ( Hint: check the Galapagos small craft nomenclature. Sure, it’s obscure.)

    Back then whales were a vital resource. their blubber was rendered down for high quality oil for lamps and lanterns. Other parts were also valuable. The filter feeding mechanism of many whales, baleen, was used like we use plastics now, sperm whales had a forehead full of a high grade lubricant, spemaceti, used right through the 20th Century.

    Until Drake began drilling for oil in Pennsylvania in 1859, the other options for lighting stank, literally. Rendered animal fats from lard and tallow or candles from them smoked the user out.
