＞ところが日本の戦前南極海捕鯨の場合、肉は殆ど全て棄てていました。
は〜い。ソースあります。
南極でクジラ捕って油絞ってロッテルダムでドイツのマーガリン工場用に
売り飛ばし、空になった船でアメリカに寄り、燃料用の石油買って日本に
帰ってくるっていうんだから、池上先生や梅崎大先生の有り難いお話は
なんなんだってことになるわなあ。

1936年に神戸造船所で日本初の遠洋捕鯨母船”日新丸”を造ったときの話ね。
＿＿＿
The Kobe shipyard broke all records in completing a ship of this size,
when on 1 August 1936, after 157 days, the Nishin Maru (nisshin =
always new) was launched. She was powered by diesel engines powerful
enough to give her a speed of 15 knots, approximately 3 knots more
than the European floating factories. The twenty-three pressure boilers
were made in Japan, but six Hartmann cookers had been ordered in
Germany. At the same time eight whale catchers were built in Japan,
each of 267 gross tons, and with engines developing 795 h.p. With
TOKUSUKE SHINO as expedition manager and three Norwegian gunners
the expedition left Kobe on 7 October and called at Fremantle on
19 October. Here Shino died quite unexpectedly, just as he was about
to realise the dream of his life: he had started life as a gunner as far
back as 1907, had been one of the most ardent champions of whaling
in the Antarctic, and become a joint founder of Taiyo Nogei K.K.
Management of the expedition was now entrusted to RISABURO NAKABE,
son of the company's president, and on 3 November they set off for
the whaling grounds. Here, during a period from 13 November 1936 to 17
March 1937, 1,116 whales were caught, producing 91,368 barrels, 95.3
per BWU. On 15 May the oil was discharged in Rotterdam, and from
here the floating factory proceeded via the Panama Canal to California,
loading 19,600 tons of fuel oil for Japan. Formally, the whale oil was
purchased by Unilever, almost certainly operating on behalf of the
German state, just as the price reached its peak of £20 10s. The profit
was stated to be 5 million yen - very useful when Japan was
in very considerable difficulties with her foreign balance of payments.
Practically all the meat had been scrapped, only a small amount being
salted. Foreign whalers were seized with panic at Japan's rapid progress:
that the whale oil should have ended up in Germany was part and
parcel of the extensive trade connections between the two countries,
ushering in the military-political alliance of the Tokyo-Berlin Axis.
