Here's a breakdown:
* Baleen: The baleen plates, made of keratin, were used to make a variety of products, including corset stays, umbrella ribs, and brush bristles.
* Blubber: The thick layer of fat beneath the skin was rendered into oil, used for lighting, lubrication, and in the production of soap and margarine.
* Meat: Humpback whale meat was consumed, particularly in some cultures, but it was not as widely used as blubber or baleen.
Whaling for humpback whales has been banned internationally since 1966, due to the species' near extinction from overhunting. However, there are still some concerns about illegal whaling and entanglement in fishing gear, which continue to threaten their recovery.
