About Whale Bone Arch

The original Whale jaw bone arch was erected some time after 1853 and is now in the Whitby Archives & Heritage Centre. A replica was presented to Whitby by Norway in 1963. The most recent replacement, which was donated by Alaska in April 2003, has recently been removed to allow an exact mould to be taken before being replicated in bronze. The new replica is expected to be erected in Whitby early 2027.
