The whales had great economic importance in the region during the sec. XVII, when we had the Armacao of the whales. Located near the Ermida de Santos Antonio de Guaibe, on the Island of Santo Amaro. It was the first whale oil extraction and processing industry for public lighting, which supplied all Baixado Santista and the city of Sao Paulo.
