第一部 (Folio) CHAPTER IV. (Hump Back).—This whale is often seen
The Humpback whale is frequently observed along the northern American coast, where it has often been captured and towed into harbor. This species carries a substantial hump resembling a peddler’s pack, earning it the descriptive nickname the Elephant and Castle whale, though this common name inadequately distinguishes it from the sperm whale, which also possesses a smaller hump. The humpback’s oil is not considered particularly valuable, and the whale possesses baleen rather than teeth. Despite its modest commercial value, the humpback stands out as the most playful and light-hearted of all whale species, generating more gay foam and white water in its activities than any other whale.
