I grew up in New Bedford, MA. If you have read Herman Melville's Moby Dick, then you know that New Bedford was once the whaling capital of the world and served as the setting for Moby Dick. New Bedford has a beautiful whaling museum, and C and R enjoyed their first trip there this week.
C and R were amazed by the size of the Blue Whale skeleton; it is 66 feet long.
C is steering the whaling ship.
C and R learn how to raise the sail on a whaling ship.
This is the view from the observation deck at the museum.
The museum has an amazing collection of items related to whaling that C and R were not interested in at this time, but they both enjoyed the visit and look forward to going back soon.
