When you think of a whaler, you may pictured a grizzled sailor wielding a harpoon. But in New Bedford, the whaling industry reflected the diversity of its population, attracting large numbers of African American, Cape Verdean, Azorean, and Wampanoag Indian men. This permanent exhibition puts a face to these stories, connecting visitors and community members to their history and heritage.
