Abstract

<p>More than 50 Far Eastern glass negatives taken by H. G. Melsom in around 1900 were preserved in a museum in Norway. Among these, on 13 images related to Korean coastal whaling, the location and subjects were examined and identified. These images included; the Jangsaengpo whaling station in Ulsan, Jangjeon Bay and Mt. Kumgang, the whale catcher Georgiy and her crew from the Russian Pacific Fisheries Co., the whale catcher Main chartered by Nagasaki whaling Co. and Kosuge Slip Dock, a World Cultural Heritage site, in Nagasaki. The image that portrays whaling on the Korean Peninsula at the beginning in the 20th century is rare and those images with high resolution are extremely valuable.</p>
