Whaling: British Columbia's Least Known and Most Romantic Industry is a silent black-and-white documentary film produced by Vancouver filmmaker A. D. Kean in the years 1916–1919.

[2] 1917: In April, Kean went out on the whaler William Grant from Sechart whaling station on Vancouver Island's west coast.

[4] 1919: While sailing on BC's northern coast and Queen Charlotte Islands with Dr. C. R. Marlatt, Kean visited Rose Harbour again in August.

This would suggest that it represents the version circulated by the British Columbia Patriotic and Educational Picture Service, starting in 1920.

The surviving version, under the main title above, is preserved in the Ernest Belton collection at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) in Ottawa.
