Several whales appeared which Captain James Davis reported were "blue whales" (finners or rorquals).

These finners or rorquals are enormous mammals, and on one occasion we were followed by one for several hours.

Like the Rorquals, they follow the Herring and Mackerel shoals.

We saw Sibbald's whale; Rorquals, and many killer whales, but no Right whales were properly identified this trip.
