This monster from the deep ended its life on a beach in Northumberland
This monster from the deep ended its life on a beach in Northumberland and what to do with the carcass was a headache.
Technically, the sperm whale belonged to the Queen, but what she would have done with 53 tonnes of blubber, is anyones guess.
The date was October, 1973, and the authorities in Boulmer issued a warning to any souvenir hunters who had ideas about tampering with the 54ft beast.
David Anderson, receiver of wrecks at Blyth, said: " I seem to have hawked it around the country, but no-one is interested. I have spoken to pet food firms and edible oil refiners, but it is no good to them. If all else fails, we will have to arrange for the council to cut it up, bury it or burn it.". © Mirrorpix

EDITORS COMMENTS
This monster from the deep ended its life on a beach in Northumberland, leaving authorities and locals grappling with the daunting task of disposing its colossal carcass. Weighing a staggering 53 tonnes, this sperm whale technically belonged to the Queen herself, but what to do with such an enormous creature proved to be quite the conundrum. In October 1973, Boulmer authorities issued a stern warning to souvenir hunters who entertained thoughts of tampering with the majestic 54ft beast. David Anderson, receiver of wrecks at Blyth, tirelessly sought solutions for this unusual predicament. Despite his efforts in reaching out to pet food firms and edible oil refiners, none saw any value in this massive blubber-laden specimen. Frustrated by their lack of interest, Anderson lamented that if all else failed, they would have no choice but to arrange for the council's intervention - either cutting it up or burying it or even resorting to burning it. This photograph captures not only the sheer size and awe-inspiring presence of this deceased sea giant but also highlights the challenges faced when nature presents us with unexpected dilemmas. It serves as a reminder that even after death, these magnificent creatures continue to captivate our imagination and pose unique logistical puzzles.
