Gun-har-poon′.

One fired from a gun, used mounted in a crutch on the gunwale of a whaleboat. It is made of steel, and has a chain or long-shackle attached to it, to which the whale-line is fastened. Some gun-harpoons carry a grenade or flask of poison which breaks and sickens the whale.

In the illustration, the harpoon has a hinged barb [1037] and a slotted shank, in which is a sliding link to which the line is fastened. The rear end of the slot has an elastic guard to receive the shock of the ring as the harpoon is fired. See harpoon.
