Conservationist are hoping to raise £80,000 to restore the huge skeleton of a 200-year-old whale which is mentioned in the classic novel Moby Dick.
Constable Moby, is a 58ft-long bull sperm whale which washed up on Tunstall Beach near Withernsea, East Yorkshire, UK on April 28, 1825.
The skeleton of the animal has been kept at an outhouse at Burton Constable, a 13th century mansion near Hull, East Yorkshire since the 1830s but it eventually became neglected and fell into poor condition.
Constable Moby, who is also known as 'Mo', was even mentioned in the 1851 novel 'Moby Dick' that was written by American writer Herman Melville.
