Text Appearing Before Image:
AMERICAN MUSEUM WHALE COLLECTION 291 A fine killer whale (Orca orca) was also obtained at Oshima and later in the year a second killer was taken. After shipping the skeletons to New York from Shimonoseki, Japan, the work was continued in the northern part of the country at the little village of Aikawa. Many sejhval were taken here during the summer, giving a splendid opportunity to investigate the species. At Aikawa, skeletons of a large fin- back, a sixty-foot sperm whale and ten porpoises were secured. The sperm whale was killed especially for the Mu- seum by Captain Fred Olsen, who did his best to secure a large individual. Off the coast of Japan, sperm whales sometimes appear in herds of from twenty or thirty up to five hundred individuals, and when a school is found it is an easy matter for each ship to kill five or six; one of the Japanese gunners even brought in as many as ten at one time. The crate containing the skull alone of the sperm whale which was shipped to the Museum, had a space measurement of twenty-six tons and was of such size that it would barely pass through the hatch of the ocean liner which carried it to New York.
