Oil painting entitled 'The ships "Vigilant" and "Harpooner" offshore', 'Harpooner' being on the right. Both were South Sea whalers belonging jointly to Green, Wigrams & Green (a partnership which was formed in 1829), and were built by them at Blackwall. 'Harpooner', 398 tons (though soon re-registered at 405), was built in 1830 and 'Vigilant', 403 tons, in 1831. This was just after George Green became involved in whaling, by W. Huggins 1832
