Our new exhibit, opening July 25, “From Sea to Shining Sea; Whalers of the African Diaspora,” is a collaborative effort with the Eastville Community Historical Society that will explore and highlight the experiences, contributions, and impact African Americans had on the whaling industry.

A free opening reception will be held from 2- 3:30PM on July 25th here at the Whaling Museum. Dr. Georgette Grier-Key, Executive Director and Chief Curator of Eastville Community Historical Society, will deliver remarks on the significance of the exhibit.
