Hi,

has anyone seen a tomb of a whale catcher ? I found one at Spitsbergen (polar sea) few years ago. Must be from the 17th century.

Leica M6 and colour film

Interesting indeed (they certainly weighed the coffin down with enough
rocks, lol). Rolf, is there a plaque or sign nearby describing this?

This tomb was on a little island near the coast (Barentssee). In the middle of this island was a kind of memorial stone with a plaque to remind to Dutch fishermen.
