Vågane Hvalstasjon. / Vågane whaling station, ca. 1918-1920. Vågane is situated to the northeast of Smørhamn in Bremanger. In 1917 the Norwegian State initiated the building of a whaling station named "Den Norske Stats Kvalstasjon" at this location. The station was bulit due to the lack of fat during WWI. The whaling station produced cooking fat and oil, and later also bone meal. Three experts from the county of Vestfold were in charge of running the station. The station had three boats and captured about 180 whales per year. The whaling station in Vågane was closed down in 1920. Vågane ligg like nordaust for Smørhamn på Bremangerlandet. I 1917 vart det på statens intiativ bygd opp ein kvalstasjon med namnet "Den Norske Stats Kvalstasjon" på staden. Bakgrunnen for bygginga av stasjonen var mangelen på feitt under den 1. verdskrigen. På kvalstasjonen vart det produsert matfeitt og olje og seinare også beinmjøl. Stasjonen i Vågane vart styrd av fagfolk frå Vestfold og hadde tre båtar som fanga kring 180 kval om året. Kvalstasjonen var i drift til 1920.
