A lemmer is the person who dismembers a whale separating the meat, flippers, and bones in the butchering process after it has been stripped of blubber by a flenser.[1] The lemmer removes the meat from the bones so it can be boiled to remove the whale oil. The word lemmer is from the Norwegian language word lemme, meaning dismember.[2] On boats, the lemmer men separated the meat.from the bones.on the lemmer deck where the carcas was pulled.[3]
