Book Description
Excerpt from Whalers and Whaling Down at the wharves of New Bedford, Massachusetts, there is a collection of the queerest looking Old ships, which instantly attract your notice. SO quaint, and so entirely unlike any craft one sees afloat nowadays, that you know in a minute they must be the Old Whalers that used to make such perilous voyages, and have such thrilling adventures fifty years ago. There they lie, - these old heroes, - huddled together in a group, as though to keep each other company and talk over the days of their youth, when they were the pride and glory of New Bedford.
