Norsk bokmål: Harpunkanon brukt av Svend Foyn i 1870, med mer. Foto tatt 21. januar 2020 av utstilte gjenstander knytta til Svend Foyn (1809–1894) i Slottsfjellsmuseet i Tønsberg i Vestfold og Telemark fylke. Foyn var skipsreder og foregangsmann i sel- og hvalfangsten. I 1870 tok han i bruk harpunkanon og granatharpun som fangstredskap og grunnla dermed den moderne hvalfagstindustrien som i løpet av de neste hundre åra nesten utrydda de største havpattedyra, blåhvalene.
