Originals of these ivory-like whalebones are very sought-after collector pieces. During their whaling trips the sailors used to leave the memories of their journeys on these bones by using a fine needle and brought them home as souvenir. This well-done reproduction of the symbol of old sailor-romanticism shows old sailing boats offshore Newfoundland during whaling with the following inscription: FOGOS, The WHALER, DELTA, GREEN PT, 1842. Furthermore, the names "Capt. Thos.Calder" and "Jos.Boyle 1st Mate" are found on the front and on the back.
The "bone" is generated from an artistry cast and parallels the original in its colour, structure and weight. Its exact measures are the following:
Length: 41 cm / 16 inches
Breadth: 10cm / 3.93 inches
Depth: 4 cm / 1.57 inches
Weight: 1,5 kg / 3.3 pounds
