Norsk bokmål: Skipsmodell av DS «Spes & Fides» fra 1863, Svend Foyns første dampdrevne hvalbåt som fanga finnhvaler ved hjelp av en harpunkanon og trakk dem til slakt på land. Foto tatt 21. januar 2020 av utstilte gjenstander knytta til Svend Foyn (1809–1894) i Slottsfjellsmuseet i Tønsberg i Vestfold og Telemark fylke. Foyn var skipsreder og foregangsmann i sel- og hvalfangsten. I 1870 tok han i bruk harpunkanon og granatharpun som fangstredskap og grunnla dermed den moderne hvalfagstindustrien som i løpet av de neste hundre åra nesten utrydda de største havpattedyra, blåhvalene.
