Two obsolete cornish clinker-built cove fishing boats joined together with additional woodwork and carved teeth to make a large wooden whale. Access to the interior is by climbing a rope ladder rear the tail. Photographed on the beach at Sennen, West Cornwall where these two boats were originally built.
