The 70ft Whale at Lyall Bay

About this image

DescriptionThe carcass of a large whale washed up on Lyall Bay beach. A locally produced postcard photographed by S.C Smith. The whale became a sensation in Wellington for a few weeks in July 1912, not only as a spectacle, but because of arguments between various authorities who were unable to agree as to who was responsible for removing it.
