Titusville is the KEY WORD in this video. From this moment on 'COMMERCIAL WHALING' fell to near zero. Crude petrol, and all products there-of saved many whale species 'FROM EXTINCTION'.
the history of crude oil extraction from the ground is over 2500 years old, refining up to seven products, even kerosene (fire life) make with boilers like for alcohol. if they started doing it on an industrial scale in 1700, that's another story!
Good question, the inuits had probably "discovered" how to extract oil from the blubber of the bowhead whales since millenia as it's a very greasy substance.
Succinct, articulate and informative. Thank you

Ok they decided they wanted to drill for oil. Whats oil? They just assumed oil was down there
Say this fast with a welsh accent! -“Whale oil beef hooked”!
But my question is how did they know whale blubber could be used as oil? Did they just say “wonder what happens if we burn this?”
