I'm currently reading Moby Dick and that book goes over the entire process of harvesting a whale. Even then they started it wasn't necessarily profitable but the versatility of the whale s resources were went they are harvested. I also heard the meat sucks.

no it was very profitable parts of the whale were worth their weight in gold and the oil was worth a lot as well
