The factory ship Lancing takes a stern slipway south

node

The Norwegian factory ship Lancing is fitted with a stern slipway - a ramp from the stern to the working deck, patented in 1922 - and taken to the Antarctic grounds. Whales can now be hauled aboard and processed in open water, in weather that would have made alongside flensing impossible. The fleet is released from the coast, and pelagic Antarctic whaling begins in earnest.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
