    This type of harpoon gun is one which would have been securely mounted on the bow of whaling boats. Until the early 20th century, whalers would hunt their prey using lances and handheld harpoon guns, meaning that their job would bring them remarkably close to the an imals in order to attack. During the 1920s, mounted harpoon guns and explosive tips were introduced to make the hunt and the kill far easier.
