Middelfart is a town in central Denmark, with a population of 14,781 (1 January 2011). The town is the municipal seat of Middelfart municipality on the island of Funen. The municipality is also a part of the East Jutland metropolitan area with 1.2 million inhabitants. The town name Middelfart means central passage – and refers to one of the three ferry links formerly connecting the island of Funen with the peninsula of Jutland – the other two being Strib and Fons. From the Middle Ages till the end of the 19th century, the local fishermen were also whale hunters in winter. The only whale common in Danish waters is the Harbour Porpoise Phocoena phocaena. The whale hunters linked their boats across the rather narrow Little Belt and by beating the sea by sticks and branches they directed the migrating porpoises to low water areas where they could be slaughtered. The whale blubber was used for lamps, indoors and outdoors, and the coming of electricity made whale hunting uneconomical.
