The Big Read: Whaling in Oregon

March 3, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Ed Talks with Julia Triezenberg, Museum Educator at the Columbia River Maritime Museum

Whaling in Oregon: The mouth of the Columbia River was the site of one of the last commercial shore-based whaling stations in the United States. Hvalfangst-Oregon (Norwegian for “whaling”) operated from 1961 to 1965 in response to a need for a ready source of high protein meat for use as feed by the local mink breeding industry. During their brief period of operation Hvalfangst-Oregon hunted and harvested about a dozen whales of various species. The United States banned all commercial whaling in 1972 in response to a growing concern that extinction of the great whales would result from the unrestricted use of modern whaling techniques.
