DescriptionTripp wrote: "The two whales lie alongside the schooner with their "flukes" near the bow, and their heads reaching by the waist of the vessel. This photograph shows the long, slender jaw as it swings open. Notice the whiteness of the jaw and mouth. A dead sperm whale always floats on its side."
