Baleen is essentially what whales use as teeth. Baleen hang from the Upper jaw of baleen whales, whales used these "baleen plates" to filter out plankton, there source of food, from the water. People from the 19th century used these baleen plates for a different purpose, they used baleen, in the same ways we use plastic. They used them to make baskets, plates, cutlery, fishing line, toys and art.

While certain events coincide with higher birth rates/lower death rates like the invention of the spinning jenny and the first coke production, these events appear to have been just a coincidence. If say the invention of the first steam engine aligned with an increase in death rates then there would be plausible correlatiom between the events, the invention on the first coke aligning with increased death rates however, seems like just a coincidence.

TL:DR nope

Britains shipbuilding industry was extremely important. The first ships were built for fishing but trade was also done by water. The abundance of timber made it cheap to obtain within the colonies.

Death rates and birth rates spiked shorty after steam powered factories were invented.

# data[].attributes.body
Shortly after the spinning Jenny was invented, birth rates increased slightly, this may have occurred due to newer technology in clothing. After the invention of the electric motor, the death rate increased slightly, as new technology for transportation had been invented more road/traffic accidents were occurring, possibly causing the increase in death. Although the connections could have been coincidental as the ups and downs in the population were probably caused by things like sickness and starvation.

Before the whaling industry was aware of whale oil they sought after Baleen. Baleen was a strong, light, flexible and hard wearing material that was also easily manipulated. It had many uses such as bristles on chimney sweep brushes and upholstery stuffing but it’s most profitable and popular uses for a while was in corsets. As well as this at the time Baleen was considered a type of whale bone but this was not the case as it was actually a type of thicker skin.

Britain had a very strong navy. It protected Britain from other neighbouring countries. After the napoleonic war, the Royal Navy was said to be the most powerful navy in the world.

‘Britain's development between 1714 and 1837 had an important international and military dimension. An empire based on commerce, sea power and naval dominance consolidated British overseas settler societies.’ (Professor Kenneth Morgan)

Baleen was a highly useful resources that's could make corsets, brushes, upholstery purposes

In the 19th century, baleen was the primary product the Greenland whalers looked for. The most popular and profitable use of baleen was making fashion items. When baleen wasn’t being made into clothing, it was being used in chimney sweep brushes and upholstery stuffing.

Baleen is a derivative of skin. It is made of keratin which is the same material that makes up our hair and nails. Baleen plates hang from the upper jaws of the whale.

In 1739 the death rates increased dramatically, this was due to "The War of Jenkins Ear" in which many soldiers died.

# data[].attributes.body
From 1700 to 1740 there was a period of unusual stagnation but soon after from 1740 to 1780 the upwards trend resumed. The average growth rate became 4% per decade and soon accelerated to 10%. Although there was a spike in the population after the invention of the Spinning Jenny and the production of coke, these events just appear to be a coincidence

The death rate of Britain had a dramatic increase in 1730. This was because of illnesses and the limited resources doctors had to heal you. People couldn't connect the link between uncleanliness and illnesses, as a result many people died. Many mothers died during childbirth and most infants didn't live past the age of 2 because of the lack of immunity and abandonment from poor families. Many surgeries were fatal, due to the use of dirty surgical instruments, so much so even having a tooth pulled was threatening to your life. In 1739 the War of Jenkins also killed off many soldiers.

Baleen was made into fashion items, particularly corsets. When not needed for clothing, baleen was used to make chimney sweep brushes and upholstery stuffing.  Baleen can also be made into sewing swifts and other small containers and as decorative inlay on sewing boxes and canes.

"The ensuing century of general peace saw considerable technological development, with sail yielding to steam and cannon supplanted by large shell-firing guns, and ending with the race to construct bigger and better battleships".  (Duncan Hill)

1730 - Death rates are at their peak, but at the same time the birth rates are rising?

A reason for this could be that during this period in time, medicine was very underdeveloped and many women died after labour. Also at this time, the death rates of children under five was increasing, therefore giving us a reason for so many death rates along with births.

During 1790, the birth rate was at it’s peak. Between 1700 and 1800, the amount of wheat being produced increased by 75%. Crop production also increased as the the quality of farming equipment and technique improved.

There seems to be no connection between the events on the source and the timeline. The events thats coincide with dates of spikes are purely coincidental.
