The whaling industry was very similar to modern fishing industries. The whalers would go out on boats and hunt whales. They would catch the whales, process the meat and also the oil from the whales which was used as a heating oil and such. They would then return to port and sell the meat and oil the markets and such.

Whaling can sometimes be a good thing, as the people who work in the whaling industry need the money earned to feed their families. Jobs in Japan where alot of whaling takes place are quite sparse, so whaling can help to boost their economy too. Plus whale meat is a traditional and tasty delicacy! Hope this helped :D

Native Americans shared essential whaling skills with American settlers, including techniques for hunting, processing, and utilizing whales, as well as knowledge of navigation and the coastal environment. They taught settlers how to construct and use whaleboats effectively. After whaling moved to deeper waters, many Native Americans continued to participate in the industry, often taking on roles as skilled crew members or guides, leveraging their extensive maritime expertise. However, their involvement diminished as industrial whaling progressed and the dynamics of the industry changed.
Countries with a history of whaling include Norway, Japan, and Iceland, which have maintained commercial whaling practices. Additionally, the United States, particularly in Alaska, and countries like Canada and Russia have engaged in whaling, often for subsistence purposes. Historically, nations such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Netherlands also participated in whaling during the height of the industry. Today, many nations have shifted towards conservation efforts, leading to a decline in commercial whaling.
