Fin Whale butchered at Raghly, Sligo, Ireland. (Time lapse)

Uploaded by davidlenehan2 on Dec 12, 2011
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.

Hi David, nice camera work and editing. Hope all goes well with the Magherow Whale Group (and thanks for offering a loan of batteries on the day!). Pity the FB group isn't public as I don't use FB and have no plans to (am already too busy when I go online already!).

Great timelapse Lenny. Well done documenting that. Is the skeleton going in a local museum?
A fitting song for such a wonderful animal.

@donncha2001 Thanks Donncha. They are probably going to display it outside somewhere. Location to be determined yet.
