The processing of a whale in a shore whaling station began with their arrival. The whale was moored with a line to the winch and hoisted to the slipwayand on the platform flensing. At the platform,bubbler, meat and bones were separated and send to their own cooking units or “cocinerías”. From cookeries, oil and a mixture of liquids and solids were sent to be purified. Solid wastes were sent to the whale-meal or guanoplant. Eight shore whaling station was built in Chile, located between Punta Arenas in the south and Iquique in the north. In this paper, we construct a retrospective ethnography of Quintayshore whaling station,using the reports and written reports by people who observed the plant in full operation. In the reportages, the issues about whale processing, has been selectively represented by those who knew the practices in a “ethnographic present.&rdquo
