It was the last operational whaling station in Australia, ceasing operations due to declining demand for whale products and increasing public opposition to whaling.

Norwegians began whaling as early as the 9th century, initially targeting whales for their oil and meat. The practice evolved over the centuries, with significant developments occurring in the 17th and 18th centuries, when commercial whaling became more organized. By the late 19th century, Norway became a leading nation in modern whaling, driven by advances in technology and increasing demand for whale products.
America is against whaling. They almost put whales out of the ocean for good when they did do whaling. They wanted their blubber for oil.
Around the middle of the 18th century, there was an expansion of the port's fishing to include whaling. Between 1753 and 1837, there were 577 whaling expeditions. The most famous of the whaling captains was Captain William Scoresby(1760-1829), who invented the crow's nest in 1807. Over the years, this industry declined, with the number of whales caught decreasing, and by 1837 the last ship The Camden made its final whaling voyage.
Whaling has been an activity for thousands of years, archealogical discoveries in South Korea suggest evidence of whaling occuring as early as 6000 BC. Commercial whaling is widely though to have begun in the late 1800s and early 1900s with the invention of various whaling devices such as the flexible harpoon and steam winches.
