Spend the morning with us at the New Bedford Whaling Museum in New Bedford, MA and explore Pacific Maritime trade, whaling, and more. Join with colleagues as we take a deep dive into The Wider World & Scrimshaw exhibit before moving on to the East Meets West gallery. We'll wrap up the morning by sharing ideas on classroom applications for what we've learned.
