As shown, from a local estate, this is wooden� � Whaling Blubber Paddle.� � This� � was a paddle used at the Hawke Bay Whaling Station (Labrador Coast) in the 30’s-40’s to stir the blubber reduced from the whale harvest in the area.� � We obtained this from an estate of the man that worked at that station and he brought it back when the plant burned in 1959 as a souvenir.� � This was passed on by his son who handled the estate disposal.� It is a hand carved paddle with signs of age and wear, a very interesting conversation piece.� � The remnants of the whaling station apparently still exist but deteriorating quickly, signs of another life and time.� � Would make an interesting addition to a collection, museum, bar, restaurant,� � etc.� � It is as shown and “as found”.� � � it is being sold “as-is” and is exactly as shown. .
