A whaling ship was a type of martime Earth ship. This ship was involved in the hunting and processing of whales. For centuries, these two activities were conducted on a single ship. By 1986, the ships became more specialized and the tasks were divided between whale catchers (the "hunters") and the processing ships. Whale catchers were equipped with harpoon guns. Processing ships were seen in the whale hunting documentary. The whale catcher was a 140 foot-long World War II-era minesweeper named the Golden Gate. [1]; [2]
