Water Walks: Julie Gough mudlarking on the Thames | Tate

Tasmanian Aboriginal artist Julie Gough takes a walk along a pebble beach alongside the Thames, where uncovered whale bones and a hidden staircase reveal a story of transportation and repatriation.
Gough was one of the artists who appeared as part of the three-day symposium Waterways: Arteries, rhythms and kinship at Tate Modern in September 2024.

London was a whaling port between 1600-1800 (very rough dates), they're probably leftover from then
