On the 28th of November 2011 a dead Fin Whale was washed up on Ardtermon
Strand near Raghly in Sligo, Ireland. The whale was probably 2 to 3
years old. Some local people organised a project to preserve the
skeleton. On December 10th, the Whale was moved to Raghly Harbour. 5
butchers from Slovakia and Brazil got to work dissecting the animal as 2
PHD students from UCG, who are studying Fin Whales, removed and
cataloged all of the bones. The bones will be treated over the next year
and finally rebuilt into a skeleton to be put on public display. This
video is a partial time lapse of the event.
