"Unveiling the Enigmatic World of Swimming Mammals: From Whale-oil Refinery Village to Stranded Giants" Dive into the fascinating history of swimming mammals, as we uncover intriguing hints from the past. In the quaint Whale-oil Refinery Village Smerenburg and its renowned Whale-Oil Factory, a bustling industry once thrived on harvesting precious whale oil. The memory of a massive walvis washed ashore in Beverwijk on 13 January 1601 still lingers, leaving locals in awe. Centuries earlier, a stranded whale named Berckhey astonished witnesses with its colossal size - measuring an astonishing 70 feet long. The legendary Ship voyage Nova Zembla in 1596 marked an extraordinary expedition that ventured into uncharted waters. A man dressed in fur warms himself by a coal fire on the title page, reminding us of how these resilient creatures provided essential resources for survival. In ancient mythology, dolphins were revered companions of Venus and Amor; their graceful backs carried two dolphins entwined by an arrow-wielding hand. Young men fleeing sea monsters along the coast captured imaginations throughout time. Two tramps aboard a stool boat depicted lottery spells - perhaps seeking luck or protection during treacherous voyages. The enchanting allure continues with sea nymphs riding dolphins while two turtle doves soar through the air alongside Nereids. Maps reveal hidden secrets as we explore the eastern part of Gulf Finland and embark upon new passages across Baltic Sea's starting point. Three-part cards showcase Iceland's mystique, Jan Mayen island's isolation, and Spitsbergen's rugged beauty - each holding tales waiting to be discovered. Passport cards guide us through Northern parts of Atlantic Ocean and Arctic regions where these remarkable creatures roam freely amidst icy landscapes.
