Arts-In-Education Exploratory Enrichment

Whaling: Long Island & Beyond

Presented by The Whaling Museum Society, Inc.

How has the way people viewed whaling and whales changed through time? Come see and explore the artifacts bringing the books Moby Dick and In the Heart of the Sea to life. Students examine our 19th century whaleboat, the only one in NY with its original gear, as an object that tells a story. Students will deepen their perspective of how the whaling industry shaped communities, while inspiring the globe's first environmental movement. Craft: Students carve scrimshaw art on keepsake boxes. Our most popular craft through the years! Add $1/student and 30 minutes to time is bringing bag lunch to eat at the museum.
