Day of the Dead Remembrance

Please join us at the Whale Museum on Wednesday November 1st at 3:00 pm as we honor the lives and commemorate the deaths of passed Southern Resident orcas. Come and share your memories of departed whales who are gone but never forgotten. The Whale Museum helps keep the legacies of these whales alive through its ‘Storykeeper Series’ – limited commemorative packets available in the Museum store, designed to remember those orcas who have gone before.

We ask for your help as we prepare to honor the departed members of the Southern Resident Community. If you have any photos of past whales or special stories you would like to share, we welcome them! For more information please contact us at 360 378-4710 ext. 30. A special thank you to Islanders Insurance for their generous sponsorship of this event.

The November 1st event is free and open to the public. The Whale Museum is located in Friday Harbor at 62 First Street North. Founded in 1979, The Whale Museum’s mission is to promote stewardship of whales and the Salish Sea ecosystem through education and research. In addition to providing exhibits, the Museum also offers programs including, Marine Naturalist Training, Orca Adoption, Soundwatch Boater Education, San Juan County Marine Mammal Stranding Network, and the Whale Hotline.
