A new management investment company plans to start a lucrative whaling business based in Darwin’s new wave pool. Great Southern Moby Dick Inc. ( Bahamas), N.L., is offering great tax offsets and a lifetime supply of free whalebone corsets for Territory investors .
The head of the company, Captain Ahab , of Nantucket, hastened to point out that his outfit is not connected to Great Southern Toothpicks and Great Southern Dinky Toys which are in financial trouble and floundering about like fish out of water. Captain Ahab said his company’s offer of free whalebone corsets will be very attractive to Territory fatties, especially male businessmen and politicians.
Captain Ahab told Little Darwin there is a big Japanese market for whale blubber. He made a fortune when he cornered the ivory artificial limb market and branched out into global whaling. He envisages Darwin’s wave pool lifeguards moonlighting as whale spotters and flensers during the Wet. Killer whales will be introduced to the wave pool to help round up humpbacks as they did in the early days of whaling in Australia. Children of a nervous disposition will not be admitted to the wave pool when killer whales are frolicking about as they will get a terrible fright-especially if the theme music of Jaws is being played over the public address system.
