Over 400 women accompanied their husbands on whaling voyages. Why did they go and how did they spend their time on ships?
Explore this population of trail blazers who sailed from New England ports, plus learn about the economics and products of whaling, early medical practices, typical diseases, international whaling, and more! Harpoon, lance, baleen and oil lamp demonstrations will be included.
