The diary gives detailed notes regarding the catch, as well as technical details and plans of the Vikingen and its companion ships the Vestfold and the Sir James Clark Ross. Erling Dekke Næss (1901-1993) was a Norwegian businessman (and later shipowner), who was asked in 1927 to invest in the Viking Whaling Company Ltd. by two Norwegian whaling pioneers. The plan was to build a whaling ship that included a whaling factory on board, basically a tanker. In 1934 he went to Cape Town to study the whale hunt himself. After a decade the company was sold and Naess entered the oil tanker business.
