My Trip to the New Bedford
Whaling Museum
By Mona
his is the largest whaling museum in the
United States. It is located in Massachusetts.
It has harpoons, figureheads, whaling gear, and objects made out of whale bones. A fun exhibit is their fully rigged 89 foot tall whaling ship. This model is half scale and the largest model ship in the world. You can't miss it because it's right inside the building.
Whaling may be gross to some but is an important part of whale history. For more information call (508)997-0046.
