Credit Blue Planet Marine NZ (New Zealand), CSIRO (Australia), Murdoch University (Australia) Credit This work was undertaken for the Marine Biodiversity Hub, a collaborative partnership supported through funding from the Australian Government's National Environmental Science Program (NESP). Also this work depended on the national library TROVE system which provided easy access to a large database of historical Australian newspapers Records of collisions between vessels and whales in Australian waters between 1872 and 2015 as described in the paper Peel, D., Smith, J. N., & Childerhouse, S. (2018). Vessel Strike of Whales in Australia: The Challenges of Analysis of Historical Incident Data. Frontiers in Marine Science, 5, 69.
