Trywork
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A trywork, located aft of the fore-mast, is the most distinguishing feature of a whaling ship. In two cast-iron trypots set into this furnace of brick, iron and wood, oil was rendered from the blubber of whales, much as grease is rendered from frying bacon.
