Last Sailing of the Harpooner Svein in Valhalla Voyage

In a rough tale from a whaling voyage, Svend the harpooner, bold and Viking-like, nails a whale as the Ventervik battles ice and fate. The ship founders after a gale, crew nearly drowns, and Svein is lost while mates cling to boats and recalls of Port Pesamus.
