Pique la Baleine is a traditional Breton whaling song, one of many such songs dating back to the early 19th century. It is featured in Commandant Louis Lacroix's (former French captain and naval historian, 1877-1958) famous book 'Les Derniers Baleiniers Francais', which was published in 1947 and documented the life and times of French whalers in the half-century between 1817 and 1867.
