		Whaleboats are traditionally oar-powered, although in whaling use often had a dismountable mast and sails, too.
		Whaleboats used in whaling had a stout post mounted on the aft deck, around which the steersman would cinch the rope once the whale had been harpooned, and by which the whale would drag the boat until it was killed.
