that's insane... never thought these things lived that long.

QUOTE
The bomb lance fragment, lodged in a bone between the whale's neck and shoulder blade, was likely made in New Bedford, Mass., then a major whaling center, Bockstoce said.

It was probably shot at the whale from a heavy shoulder gun around 1890.
