The Trinidad whaling station operated during the 1920s and was important, though short lived, part of Trinidad’s maritime history. This exhibit explores the station through historic photographs, artifacts, and stories of people who worked there. As a visitor, you can learn about whaling vessels such as the “S.S. Hawk,” the equipment and methods used to hunt and process whales, and the difficult conditions faced by workers.
An exciting artifact from the early years of Trinidad’s whaling station is a surviving logbook that documents daily environmental conditions, offering a firsthand glimpse into the station’s operations and life along the coast.
