Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Whaling in the Netherlands was a centuries long tradition.The history of Dutch whaling begins with 17th century exploration of Arctic fishing grounds; and the profitability of whaling in the 18th century drove further growth. Increased competition and political upheavals in Europe affected the stability of this maritime industry in the 19th century; and a combination of these factors cut short any further growth of Dutch whaling in the Antarctic. Modern, post-war whaling in the southern oceans was developed intensely, but continued growth of Dutch whaling was abbreviated as a result of multi-national treaties which similarly impacted other national whaling enterprises. The current Dutch government supports a moratorium on all whaling worldwide.
