The Whale Factory of Porto Pim, located within the Faial Natural Park, is an industrial complex situated on the southwestern side of Porto Pim Bay, on the slopes of Monte da Guia. The Whale Factory remains one of the best-preserved examples of the now-extinct Azorean whaling industry, essential for understanding the historical, economic, and social dimensions of that activity. The permanent exhibition at the Porto Pim Whale Factory retains nearly all of its original machinery. The factory illustrates the complete process of sperm whale rendering to obtain commercial by-products (blubber oil and the production of meat, bone, and blood meal). The factory also houses a vast collection resulting from the intense whaling activity that took place on Faial throughout the 20th century.
