Did you know that whaling was our nation's first integrated industry and that between one-quarter and one-third of crews were people of color? Join a docent from The Whaling Museum & Education Center of Cold Spring Harbor for a fascinating talk spotlighting the roles African American mariners played in our whaling history. Also explore whaling's ties to the Underground Railroad. Registration is underway.
