............................................................................

It is said that a man named Edwards was the first settler to locate at Blubber Bay, and he states that the large iron kettles for drying out the blubber from whales were located here. This processing was probably done on a temporary basis and the location used only as the catch of whales demanded as no permanent whaling station was ever located here. 1887 was the first year lime burning began in Blubber Bay.
