At the Oxford University Museum of Natural History there is a collection of five cetacean skeletons - four various whales and one dolphin. They were collected in the 19th century, although even then it was unusual to obtain a whole animal for study. Thanks to their rarity and the difficulty in collecting them, the specimens were highly prized by museums and comparative anatomy researchers at the time.

I doubt the Dishonored world would be much different. I mean we were still naming whales at that time in our own world. With the Academy of Natural Philosophy so important, I would think intact skeletal specimens would be highly sought after.

As for the leviathan skeleton "hidden away" in the Boyle Vault, that's a whole different plausibility-stretching problem...
