Whaling nations were expected to monitor their own whalers. The 2006 catch by Japanese whalers included 505 Antarctic minke whales. Pucky the Whale was the mascot of the Hartford Whalers. These saw various careers as mercantile freighters, smugglers, tugs, weather ships, and whalers. The site was subsequently visited and later settled by European traders, whalers and missionaries. Scrimshaw essentially was a leisure activity for whalers. Elephant Island was remote, uninhabited, and rarely visited by whalers or any other ships. The suit requested an injunction to stop Sea Shepherd's operations against Japanese whalers. Most of the original scrimshaw created by whalers is currently held by museums. Contemporary factory ships are automated and enlarged versions of these earlier whalers. The last remaining German whalers worked for Dutch vessels in the 1950s and 1960s. "Yankee whalers" from the new American colonies replaced the Basques. In the 1850s, American whalers operated in the region. Traders, whalers, and scientific missions followed in the next decades. The Inuit first heard European melodies by listening to the whalers.
