The data are estimates of the time that each of 210 whales would take to swim 1km. Pairs of sightings and corresponding locations that could be reliably attributed to the same whale were collected, thus providing an estimate of velocity for each whale. The velocities were converted into times taken to swim 1km.
A vector of 210 times.
