A Greener percussion harpoon gun circa 1845.
A swivel-mounted harpoon gun improved from an earlier 18th Century design, the Greener Harpoon Gun was first introduced in 1837 and used for decades beyond as the first truly successful harpoon gun. It revolutionized the whaling industry at a time when whale ships were sailing farther and longer in search of their targets. These guns saw much use by American and British whalers in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans, where the great herds of Grey, Sperm and Right Whales were hunted.
