I want to read this but feel I need to brace myself first.

I'll be honest I found it upsetting putting the photographs together but I promise I haven't included any that are overly gruesome!

Ok thanks for info. Gruesome topic, though. 😵‍💫

I can’t quite articulate why, but I find that shot of “The Petrel” especially haunting… All of these images, though… -shudders-

I feel the same way. Among all of the others there’s something really sinister about that one!

Thank you for this horrific but necessary history lesson.

Wow, this is . . . fascinating, horrible, amazing. Reminds me of the book, "Kinsey, Photographer," with old photos of loggers posing in giant sequoias, etc. To equate might and heroism with bringing down one of these precious behemoths is beyond insane.
