Was it really that exploited 100 years ago? Genuinely asking as I thought the industrial revolution was when humanity started destroying the planet.

Whales were used for other things such as corsets (ribbing from baleen), tools (spoons for caviar), jewlery, soaps, food and perfumes among other things. Absolutely tragic.
