| Description |
English: The whaling steamer "Orion" was built in Norway in 1904, and arrived in its new home port of Victoria the following year. The vessel was designed to hunt and kill whales for processing at shore-based whaling stations. In 1908, the "Orion" and its sister ship, the "Saint Lawrence" killed over 600 whales.
This photo shows the "Orion" in the Juan de Fuca Strait, in January 1906. The strait runs between the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island.
