Captain Quentin Walsh had an illustrious career. But I believe there is an important error in
this narrative. Here it is excerpted:
In the late 1930s, he spent a year as an observer on a whaling factory ship cruising 30,000 miles from Sweden to Australia, the Indian Ocean and Antarctica and at one point, the crew spent 132 straight days without seeing land. During his tour as an inspector, the Ulysses crew had killed 3,665 whales. Walsh's firsthand knowledge of whaling practices heavily influenced the formulation of U.S. whaling policy against commercial whaling.
I believe that killing of 3665 whales is probably in error.
