So how many qts can you get out of a whale?

Ok - you asked...first, whale oil is measured in barrels, and we need to know how big a whale oil barrel is

Whale Oil Barrel
Through the years there has been occasional idle speculation that the petroleum barrel was somehow a descendent of the whale oil barrel. Such is not the case, and it never was. They are not related. The petroleum barrel, as explained in a previous chapter, contains 42 gallons. Sources used in researching the whale oil barrel ranged from 30 to 35 gallons. Like the early days of the petroleum barrel (1860's), the whale oil barrel didn't seem to settle exactly for a prescribed gallonage in its infancy. The sources used here mentioned capacity as follows:

Scoresby (1820) 30-33 gallons

Ellis'es glossary (1980) 35 gallons (approx.)

Ellis (1980) in his glossary states that a whale oil barrel of approximately 35 gallons is a unit of measurement.​

4 quarts to a gallon, so, using 35 gallon barrels, there are 140 quarts in a barrel.

Then we need to know how many barrels of oil you get out of a Sperm whale.

About 25 to 40 barrels of whale oil could be had from a sperm whale in the average size range, but extremes of over 100 barrels are found in legend.​

So, this gives us 3,500 - 5,600 quarts from an average size sperm whale, but the Ron Jeremy of whales would give 14,000 quarts.
