The Whaling Monument at Port Alberni’s Victoria Quay is being reassembled in its new home along the river. The 30-foot red and yellow cedar whaling canoe was previously set up in a shed at the Victoria Quay. The shed was originally built as a place for carving the welcome figures that now stand nearby. The original shed, designed by architect Scott Kent in the early 2000s, was only meant to be a temporary home for the whaling monument, but years went by and the piece remained in the open structure.
