Whale catcher?
I thought that the proper term for a ship that goes after whales is whaler.
Perhaps it's an 'across-the-pond' terminology-thing. 213.40.3.65 03:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- According to the former whalers behind http://www.lardex.net/ (which in part has been copied, wikified and improved in List of ships built at Framnæs shipyard and some related pages) -the term is whaler. Nordby73 18:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's what Melville uses. Septentrionalis 21:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have no objection to moving the article to Whaler. But, in order to preserve the edit history of this article the existing ] will have to be removed. It was originally a redirect to whaling. Why didn't the person who started this article just change the redirect to Whaling into a real article about Whalers? I don't know. Er, um. I started this article. I guess I didn't know any better then. -- Geo Swan 23:53, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- The Whale catcher article did not excist when the first Whaler redirect page was created. The requested move will preserve the edit history of Whale catcher. Nordby73 21:15, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
