The reason people wrote about whales so much back then was because you couldn't get away from them. Nothing like commercial fishing was even possible because whales ate all the fish and rammed your boat, so these vikings and Englishmen were just eating herring that spend half their lives in shallow waters near the shore. They say when we started commercial whaling we nuked the population by like 99.999% and now it's still way less than 1% what it was back then

So archaeological sites all over the world show populations with strong reliance on whale oil and whale meat. There are so many whale bones at these sites that people had to have been hunting them all the time. We find this shit in oddball places like Korea and Scotland. Just everywhere.

There are also cave paintings of whales.

There are innumerable accounts of ancient sailors coming across huge pods of whales. Pliny the Elder seemed to know a fuckload about whales. Seemed to think they were tons of them out there.

What's hard to find is any evidence that whales were scarce. As far as I know, no one ever claimed they were hard to find.

as i understand it, scientists use DNA diversity in the various whale species to estimate prior number which, as you note, were massively larger.
