"What types of products were made from Whaling? The bustling harbour was known for the odious stench associated with the rendering of blubber from whales in oil production. The blubber was brought back in barrels and refined by boiling for lighting, soap, preparation of leather and other purposes. Even the fenks, the refuse of blubber was used to make manure, Prussian blue and ammonia. Most of a whale could be used. The tail would be used to produce glue, the bones ground down to make manure. Bone from the whale's mouth was used to create umbrellas or ornaments and the hair of the whalebone was used as stuffing."
