The Whale Tail came to Faaborg in connection with the opening of the harbor baths
in May 2014.
Tommy "Topsvejs" Hansen and Benny "Boomsterk" Rasmussen ensured
that it was placed decoratively near the harbor baths in the middle of the night.

In a short time, the townspeople adopted the Whale Tail and recognized it as one of the city's landmarks.

Just as suddenly as it had appeared, it disappeared in September 2019.
"The Real Faaborg" and the municipality of Faaborg-Midtfyn have since worked together to bring the Whale Tail back to the city
and on April 3, 2020, the Whale Tail was lowered back into the water in its usual location.

The sculpture weighs 10.5 tons
Width: approximately 6 meters
Height: 4.5 meters
The tail itself is made of aluminum and has a concrete base.
