The New Bedford Whaling Museum provides a well-done, comprehensive site that includes all aspects of American whaling. This site is a pleasure to amble through if you love the lore and legend of late eighteenth-century sailing ships, trade, and whaling. On this page, you can choose from among a collection of online exhibitions, such as "William Bradford: Sailing Ships & Arctic Seas" and "Pacific Encounters." Their website is the next best thing to actually visiting the Museum.
