The whaleboat was the indispensable workhorse of the great 19th-century whaling fleets that sailed from Nantucket, New Bedford, and ports across the Atlantic world. Measuring typically 28–30 feet in length, these open, double-ended rowing boats were launched from the mother ship and propelled by six oarsmen directly toward their quarry — the sperm whale, bowhead, or right whale — in one of the most dangerous occupations in human history.

Immortalised by Herman Melville in Moby-Dick (1851), the whaleboat became a symbol of maritime courage and the elemental struggle between man and nature. Today it endures as one of the most celebrated subjects in the history of ship modelling.
