Whale Monument at Mehamn town square
The monument has been raised in memory of "the Battle of Mehamn" which took place on 2 June 1903. During the last half of the 19th century, there was extensive whaling operations along the Finnmark coast.
Several whaling stations were set up across the county, with one of the largest being placed in Mehamn. This was run by the famous industrialist and grenade harpoon inventor, Svend Foyn. The whalers were blamed for a decline in sea fishing in the beginning of the 20th century, and as a result around 1 200 furious fishermen attacked the Mehamn whaling station and razed it to the ground overnight on 2 June 1903.
For the first time in modern history, Norwegian authorities employed the military to restore civil order. The episode has become known as "the Battle of Mehamn", contributing to the Norwegian Parliament banning whaling along the coast of Northern Norway in 1904.
