The MS Southern Actor is the only remaining operational whaleboat from the industrial whaling industry, and it represents an important part of maritime history. The boat was built in England in 1950 and actively participated in whaling in the Southern Ocean until 1962. Today it is preserved as a historical landmark and offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the history of whaling through guided tours on board.
As part of the Vestfold Museums IKS, the MS Southern Actor offers unique experiences that provide insight into the importance and development of whaling. In addition to the guided tours, visitors can enjoy Bombus's dream garden, which is part of the experience. This area provides a scenic setting for visitors who want to explore both the history of the boat and the surrounding nature.
