A Whaling Vessel in 1885 to 1890

[Rosalie Enstrom]

Could someone help me please.  I understand that our grandfather Bros Emil Hjalmar Enstrom was listed as a sailor in 1890.   We were led to believe that he was involved in the whaling industry and were wondering whether he was a sailor on one of the vessels involved in whaling. We do know that he then went to South Africa to enlist in the Boer War in 1889 on the British side but are anxious to clear up whether he was in fact on the whaling boats before this.
Any information on this industry in Sweden would be appreciated.
Thank you
Rose

My mistake : grandfather's name was Bror not Bros
Rose

[Bo Nordenfors (Nob)]

Sure it was Enström? Approx.  DOB?? Do you know from where in Sweden??

[Rosalie Enstrom]

Bo, yes his name was Enstrom, born 25 Mars1873 in Maria Magdalena,  
Stockholm.
Any assistance you can give would be much appreciated.
