Albany's Historic Whaling Station

"For a little bit of history, Albany was once well known as a whaling town before operations shut down in 1978. Now transformed into a popular tourist destination for whale watching, Albany’s Historic Whaling Station located on the Southern Coast of King George Sound encompasses the whaling times of the town. 🛳️ Explore the whaling ship the “Cheynes IV” on a self-guided tour and stand aboard the decks where the whales were processed. Delve into the fascinating museum with exhibits of the history of whaling and view the artefacts from that era. As a highlight, check out the skeleton of the last sperm whale harpooned in Albany - a thought-provoking reminder of the whaling past. 🐋 Learn all about the history of the whales in Albany and appreciate their magnificent beauty in the wild! On a small side note, don’t forget about the gorgeous botanic garden of stunning flora and the wildlife park!"
