It’s like the old joke that “Cocaine will make you lie, because you have to keep talking but have run out of real things to say:

This Norwegian SS C.A.Larsen was originally oil tanker San Gregorio, built in 1913.
She was purchased in 1926 and converted into a whaling factory ship.
A slipway was fitted at the bow to avoid infringing a patent, but as this proved unsuccessful, the design was never used again.

Nov. 3, 1926: “The largest and quaintest whaling ship ever built arrived at Los Angeles harbor after a successful voyage. Its most peculiar feature is its bow, which is square and contains a gigantic door through which the carcasses of the captured whales are drawn.” (Smith Archive)
