In December 1883, a humpback whale appeared in the Firth of Tay off the shore of Dundee, at that time the country's major whaling port, and attracted much local interest. William McGonagall wrote an infamously bad poem about the events. The decomposing whale made Woods a great deal of money, and Struthers famous. The Regius Professor of Anatomy at Aberdeen University, John Struthers dissected the whale, much of the time in public with a military band playing in the background, organised by Woods. It was towed into Dundee by a showman, John Woods, and exhibited on a train tour of Scotland and England. It was harpooned in a hunt, but escaped, and was found floating dead off Stonehaven a week later. The Tay Whale, known locally as The Monster, was a humpback whale that swam into the Firth of Tay of eastern Scotland in 1883.
