Davidson Whaling Station
Historic site officially opened in 1991.
Site of the Davidson Family Whaling Station, from where shore based whaling was conducted from 1826 to
1932. Three generations of the Davidson family worked from this site to hunt migrating whales. They were
the only whalers known in the world to work in partnership with killer whales (orcas). Their history is also
commemorated in the killer whale museum in Eden.
Interpretative signs incorporating historic photographs and sketches have been installed around this site to
explain the whaling operations. A viewing platform has been erected around the remains of the 'Tying Down
Works' (The area where the whale blubber was boiled to extract the oil).
