Whaling trawlers are large waterfaring vessels that are used to capture whales, and are the backbone of Dunwall's economy.
The marine craft possesses a prow that extends and contracts from the ship, which allows captured whales to be brought aboard and transported to slaughterhouses, such as the Rothwild Slaughterhouse. After the harpoon gun on the bow weakens a whale, a hook pulls the mammal up through a chute onto the deck of the ship. Following this, it is then strung from an H-framed crane and harvested, primarily for its blubber, which is then later refined into whale oil.
