Such strandings must have represented a huge bounty for local populations in historical times, literally tonnes and tonnes of food and resources arriving on the beach with no effort required. |

The whaling gallery is a collection of images from a whole range of sources. It is intended to inform and illustrate a now (thankfully) vanished occupation and way of life that for the men so engaged was hard and often dangerous. It is intended for historical interest rather than a commentary on the ethics of whaling.
