SAVE THE WHALE (bones)!! In January of 2004, a 33.5’ male sperm whale washed ashore at Cape Lookout. We buried the carcass and have since collected the bones. We are now seeking funds for the materials, equipment, supplies, and staffing to enable us to prepare and reconstruct the skeleton for display in the NC Maritime Museum in Beaufort, North Carolina. Can you please help us raise money to put the whale skeleton back together by adopting a bone or tooth? The donor list will be part of the final display. Please select your bone(s) below and follow the payment instructions. Thank you for your interest and support. Keith Rittmaster Natural Science Curator, NC Maritime Museum
