[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 438268, member: 22"]I've just spoken to my Dad about this. He said the whaling ships used to go down to the South Atlantic around the Falkland Isles, catch the whales, process them and then sail to Japan and sell them the flesh which the Japanese used to eat. It was whilst they were in Japan the crew bought the goodies. The oil remained on board and was pumped ashore when they got back to Hull. My Dad said he used to cycle to the docks in the late 20's to greet the ship and went onboard, he said the smell was horrific.[/QUOTE]
