Whalebone arch. A memorial to whales and sailors.
Whalebone Arch的点评
点评：Adjacent to the cathedral is the Whalebone Arch, constructed in 1933 from the jawbones of two blue whales to commemorate the centenary of continuous British administration in the Falklands. The bones arrived on East Falkland in1922 from the South Shetland Islands.The arch offers perspective on the size of these marine giants.
The bones are also a sad reminder of the whaling industry, which brought people to the Southern Atlantic Islands, and decimated the whale population over a 300 year period. Whaling continued into the 1960's and only stopped when uneconomic due to low number of whales. Whales are now a source of tourist income and the Whalebone Arch is a memorial to the many whales who died, and the desperate men who worked and died for the profits of whaling companies.
This unusual site is found on the sea shore in the grounds of Stanley Cathedral. It is worth a quick photo stop and a longer thought about its significance. No entrance fee. Tours usually stop here.
The double arch is unique, differing from the single whale jaw arch in Whitby, UK.

翻译：毗邻大教堂的是鲸骨拱门，建于 1933 年，由两条蓝鲸的颌骨建成，以纪念英国在福克兰群岛连续管理一百周年。这些骨头于 1922 年从南设得兰群岛抵达东福克兰。通过拱门可以了解这些海洋巨人的体型。
这些骨头也让人想起捕鲸业，捕鲸业将人类带到了南大西洋群岛，并在 300 年间大量减少了鲸鱼的数量。捕鲸活动一直持续到 1960 年代，直到由于鲸鱼数量较少而不经济时才停止。鲸鱼现在是游客收入的一个来源，鲸骨拱门是为了纪念许多死去的鲸鱼，以及为了捕鲸公司的利润而工作和牺牲的绝望的人们。
这个不寻常的地点位于斯坦利大教堂的海边。值得快速停下来拍照并仔细思考其意义。没有入场费。旅行通常停在这里。
双拱是独一无二的，与英国惠特比的单鲸颌拱不同。
