A whaleback was a type of cargo steamship of unusual design, with a hull that continuously curved above the waterline from vertical to horizontal. When fully loaded, only the rounded portion of the hull (the "whaleback" proper) could be seen above the waterline. With sides curved in towards the ends, it had a spoon bow and a very convex upper deck. It was formerly used on the Great Lakes of Canada and the United States, notably for carrying grain or ore. The sole surviving ship of the "whaleback" design is the SS Meteor, which is docked in Superior, Wisconsin as a museum ship.

  • Walrücken (englisch Whaleback) war ein Schiffstyp, der in der Zeit von 1889 bis 1898 hauptsächlich auf den beiden Werften des Schiffskonstrukteurs gebaut wurde. Der Name leitet sich von der an einen Walrücken erinnernden charakteristischen runden Form des Schiffsrumpfes dieser überwiegend für die Massengutfahrt auf den Großen Seen konzipierten Schiffe und Bargen ab.

  • Un whaleback (« dos de baleine » en anglais) est une conception originale de navire cargo, né aux États-Unis à la fin du XIXe siècle. Bien que le terme n'aie jamais été une désignation officielle, il était d'un usage commun du fait de l'apparence de ces navires lorsqu'ils étaient chargés. (fr)
