The Whale Bone Arch is a landmark in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England, made from two lower jawbones of a whale. The original was erected some time after 1853[1][2] and has been replaced at least twice due to weathering. North Yorkshire Council will replace the current bones with a bronze replica.[3][4]
