Whale ship in the shipyard 22. ágúst 2006 11:56 Hvalur 9, Stálsmiðjan, Slippur The whale ship Hvalur 9 was brought in the shipyard at the Reykjavík harbour yesterday for repairs. Bjarni Thoroddsen at Stálsmiðjan (steal smith) said this is the first time since 1989 that the ship is taken into the shipyard but the condition of the ship is far better than anyone dared to hope. The ship seems to be in almost the same condition as when it went down when whaling stopped in Iceland, 17 years ago. Kristján Loftsson, owner of Hvalur hf., was very happy about the day. He said he does not know if whale hunting will resume but he is hopeful. When asked what effect hunting would have on tourism and whale watching he answered: „It can go hand in hand. First you watch the whale and then you eat it."
