	Hartford Whalers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Whalers franchise was born in November 1971 when the World Hockey Association awarded a franchise to New England businessmen Howard Baldwin, John Coburn, Godfrey Wood, and William Barnes, to begin play in Boston.
		With the exception of a couple seasons in the late 1970s when the Whalers played at the Springfield Civic Center while the Hartford Civic Center was being renovated (due to the collapse of a portion of its roof after a blizzard) the franchise was in Hartford up until it relocated to North Carolina in 1997.
		In early 1997, negotiations between the Whalers, and the State of Connecticut and Governor John Rowland to build a new $147.5 million arena seemed to be going well and an agreement appeared close at hand.

	SMALL-TYPE COASTAL WHALING IN JAPAN
		Their arrival coincided with, and probably caused, a sharp fall in catches by the locals, as the whales were being caught before they reached coastal waters and came within reach of the small Japanese rowing boats.
		Whalers from Kyushu, Shikoku, the Seto Inland Sea area and Wakayama thus moved with the operators to pursue the occupations of their ancestors, resulting in a long tradition of whaling culture transmitted from father to son with no major discontinuities.
		Whalers from Arikawa have also historically formed a significant part of the Antarctic workforce, and in 1960 made up almost one-tenth of the more than 10,000 crew who travelled south.

	New Bedford Whaling Museum \| Research
		The walrus hunt had been associated with whaling since medieval times, and even where the whalers did not take walrus themselves (as was typically the case in the 19th century), tusks were obtained by barter with Northern peoples in Canada, Siberia, and Alaska, and were often utilized to scrimshaw.
		Through the centuries, each of these products had commercial value from time to time, and so were only intermittently available to whalers for their own hobby work.
		Skeletal whale bone was used for architecture and artisanry by Norse and Basque whaling pioneers in medieval times; but, beginning in the 17th century, pelagic whalers – who were primarily concerned with oil and secondarily with baleen – discarded the bones as worthless deadweight.
