The Whaling Industry Museum, formerly Fábrica da Baleia Armações Baleeiras Reunidas, Lda, in São Roque do Pico, is the first public industrial museum in the Azores. The Sociedade das Armações Baleeiras Reunidas, Lda, established in 1942, articulated two production systems: whale fishing (sperm whale) and the production of its derivatives, as well as its respective commercialization. This factory unit, the largest and most important sperm whale processing complex in the Azores, which operated between 1946 and 1984, is an industrial building with a total area of about 1200m2.
