The Schaper Bros. caught this whale by
"accident".
They where fisherman on Long Island, where
there still must be family of them.
The Schaper brothers where brothers of my
grandfather. Their names where Pieter and Arie. We don't know who Nick
is. Probably one of their children.
There must be a diary from their journey in
1905 from Holland to America in the Long Island Maritime Museum in West
Sayville.
Comment: If you know anything or anyone from the Schaper
Family, please e-mail me or the Schapers' directly.
