collection Description

The C. E. Wellings Collection is a collection of 180 photographs taken by Charles Eden Wellings between 1900-1948. The collection includes photographs of whaling (1910-1932?) in the Eden area including flensing of whales and hunting assisted by killer whales Hooky and Jackson as well as various views of Eden. Some of the whalers photographed were Yuin people, who worked alongside the European whalers.
