The oldest verified whale was a bowhead whale found off the coast of Alaska in 2007. The whale, estimated to be 130 years old, had a souvenir from the 1880's embedded in its neck: a 13-cm fragment of a bomb lance. Apparently the whale had been hit with the lance, broke it, and lived another 125 years to sneer about it.

The oldest whale is The Blue Whale called Blue Superstar. He lived for 150 years and the blue whale has lived for over 1000 years.

A Historian
Evidence suggests that Bowhead whales live well over one hundred years of age. Nineteenth Century explosive tips from New England whalers have been found inbedded in the blubber of recently slaughtered Bowheads. The Native Alaskans annual taking of Bowheads also yielded ivory and stone tips left there by their ancestors over a century before.
