Griffiths Island is one of six whaling station sites on the Victorian Heritage Register. At the time of writing no in depth archaeological research has been conducted on these sites. As such, Victorian shore-based whaling sites are underrepresented in an Australian context. This research seeks to contribute to the understanding of the Victorian shore-based whaling industry, and in doing so evaluate the remains and significance of Griffiths Island whaling station in a national context.
