Answer : HARPOON
harpoon – n
a spear with a shaft and barbed point for throwing; used for catching large fish or whales; a strong line is attached to it
harpoon, barbed spear used to kill whales, tuna, swordfish, and other large sea creatures, formerly thrown by hand but now, in the case of whales, shot from especially constructed guns.
The hand-thrown harpoon has two sets of sharp barbs and is made in two parts, the lily iron, about 5 inches (13 centimetres) long, which contains the barbs, and a shaft about 18 in. long. The gun-projected harpoon explodes when it has struck the whale, expanding the barbs and killing the animal instantly.
A harpoon is a long spear–like instrument and tool used in fishing, whaling, sealing, and other marine hunting to catch large fish or marine mammals such as whales. It accomplishes this task by impaling the target animal and securing it with barb or toggling claws, allowing the fishermen to use a rope or chain attached to the projectileto catch the animal.
