Whale blubber sliced from body. The first process in cutting up a humpback whale, in which the chain and cable are attached to the blubber, is shown here. As the cable is wound on the drum by the steam winch, the blanket-like layer of blubber is pulled back as fast as the workman with the "cutting-spade" can cut it loose from the body
