Bereik en inhoud
The Consolidated Whaling Corporation Ltd. had its main wharf based out of Point Ellice. The company was incorporated in 1918, registered in 1922 as an extra-provincial company, and continued operations until 1942, and the company was finally dissolved in 1953. The vessels and office equipment was auctioned of in 1947 when the company filed for bankruptcy, with the vessels being purchased by a number of companies, mainly MH Kramer, Northern Junk Co., that were later dismantled for scrap. It was preceded by the Victoria Whaling Co, the Pacific Whaling Co, Queen Charlotte Whaling Co, and the Canadian Northern Pacific Fisheries. The company had a total of 5 whaling vessels: the Black, the Blue, the White, the Brown, and the Green. The Gray was the company tender and travelled between Victoria and whaling stations with supplies and returned with whale oil, whale bone and other items which it would take to San Francisco to sell. All whaling stations were closed by 1967.
The fonds consists 17 items: 17 enlarged copies of photos related to whaling, 9 of which are on mat board
