A museum dedicated to the whalers of Lajes Do Pico to understand how they lived and worked.

Dedicated to whalers, this museum, housed in the former Casa dos Botes, is not just a nostalgic mausoleum for a bygone era: it provides an insight into how whalers lived and worked, and what their tools were used for, from harpoons to whaleboats, binoculars to ropes. We discover a way of life as much as a profession, without mythology or sentimentality. A documentary film on the whalers is shown every 30 minutes, alternately in Portuguese and English. Bloody for the whale, but edifying (sensitive souls, brace yourselves!).

En complément du musée présentant l'industrie baleinière sur Faial, ce petit musée décrit plus particulièrement la chasse à la baleine. Le film est intéressant et l'exposition de "scrimshaw" très jolie.

Très beau petit musée sur la vie des chasseurs de baleines à sur l'île de Pico. Construction des embarcations, objets d'art en ivoire de dents des cétacés, film documentaire des années 70. 2,00€ l'entrée (comme dans la plupart des musées de l'archipel) et 1,00€ pour les retraités (idem).
