The South African The Freemantle Whaling Company according to Parbury’s oriental herald of 1867

 The nowadays digited Parburys oriental herald and colonial intelligence, vol III January to June. London, 1839 contents a small note dealing with this company.

Page 67: The Freemantle Whaling Company was proceeding with alacrity and enterprise. The best headsmen in the colony have signed articles to the Company, which is now better prepared to prosecute its objects with effect than it was during the past season. Another Company for bay-whaling has also been formed at Freemantle.
