Description:
For nearly two centuries, the ports of New England were home to the “Yankee” whaling industry. The exhibit draws on Sterling Library’s Manuscripts and Archives Whaling Logs Collection. Logbooks were essential navigational tools and also document whaling voyages and reveal the complex world of the industry.
