This Finback Whale skeleton is in The University Museum of Zoology.
The Whale, a male, was washed ashore dead at Pevensey in Sussex
in November 1865. Some 40,000 people are estimated to have made
the trip to view it on the beach during the first few days of its
stranding. The skeleton was prepared, and viewed over Easter, 1866,
with some excitement, by the public at Hastings, and it was subsequently
bought for the Museum by public subscription.
