Rare Blue whale skeleton to take a trip to Canada before being displayed at Oregon State University

A rare blue whale skeleton could be ready for display at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport as early as the end of 2023. Thursday morning, crews with Dinosaur Valley Studios loaded up the hundreds of bones from a storage facility in South Beach to transport to Alberta, where the bones will be reassembled. The whale carcass washed ashore in 2015 near Gold Beach, the first known beached blue whale in Oregon in more than 200 years. Institute emeritus director Bruce Mate and stranding coordinator Jim Rice lead a team of 45 OSU students, staff and faculty, as well as local volunteers to dismember and salvage the bones, then transport them to Newport. A necropsy indicated the whale had starved. The bones were stored in makeshift bags repurposed from fishing nets and lowered by crane into Yaquina Bay, where they were anchored by chains to the seafloor. For three years, divers monitored the remains, which, cleaned of the flesh, were removed from the water in 2019. *** There’s a place for you here.
