Whale Bone Arch
Monument in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England
The Whale Bone Arch is a landmark in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England, made from two lower jawbones of a whale. The original was erected some time after 1853 and has been replaced at least twice due to weathering. North Yorkshire Council will replace the current bones with a bronze replica.
