Art of Scrimshaw
When the Cheynes beach whaling company closed in 1978, they quite simply put down their tools and walked away, and this is what makes our experience so authentic. You can stand on the actual decks where the whales were processed, climb aboard and explore the last whalechaser in Australia, or stand underneath the skeleton of the last sperm whale harpooned in Albany. There is no other whaling display in the world as accessible as this!
