plural bronze whalers

  1. The copper shark.

    Below you, two bronze whalers, tiny with distance, begin to wind their way up to you as if on submarine updraughts, and you register them, in your slow glide to the surface, as hardly bigger than the bubbles in your trail.

    1993, Tim Winton, Land's Edge, Picador, published 2014, page 51
