[edit] Harpoon Article Expansion

I came to this article so I could accurately depict an ancient harpoon, and was surprised by the size of the article. I've seen whole websites devoted to whaling by harpoons. Unfortunately, I don't know much about harpoons, so I can't expand this myself. If you know a lot about harpoons and whaling, please expand this article. - Omnimmotus 21:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rorquals "invulnerable" to hand-held harpoons?

The Japanese hunted rorquals using nets and hand-held harpoons. Also, during the early modern era, a pram was lowered from the whale catcher to finish off whales, including rorquals, using hand-held lances. Jonas Poole (talk) 02:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
