THE AMBER WHALE

(Above): The Amber Whale in Larkin City.

Amber Whale Tavern & Lodging House (est. 1870) is located on Main Street in Larkin City near the harbor, between a haberdashery and the Sea Wharf Cafe and one block from the grocery store. Burned down in 1904, it was replaced by Phoebe's Boutique. The dress shop was torn down in 1979 and the Amber Whale was rebuilt to original 1870 specs.

The Amber Whale is set back from the boardwalk on Main Street. The sign over the door depicts a whale slicing through blue waves, and the letters are painted in the same blue:

Established 1870

The first owner of the Amber Whale was Edward Bisiker. After his death in a carriage accident in 1875, his widow Lizbeth became the proprietor with the help of of their son Adam. Lizbeth was also the mistress of John Larkin, founder of Larkin City.

Adam Bisiker went on to establish the Suds Pub after the Amber Whale burned down in 1904. He was the father of Linda Bisiker, who married George Sullivan (Ben Webb). Their son was Mike Sullivan, who appeared in Book Three: The Twain Shall Meet.
