Will Keuper on 16 Nov 11In 2010, the New Bedford Whaling Historic Park (Through the National Park Service) opened an interactive and historic map and description of a number of communities heavily involved in the whaling industry, as well as individual whalers and their expeditions. The website is pretty extensive with it's depiction of the individual mansions in 19th century New Bedford, as well as the detailed description of important figures in American Whaling. This is an interesting and insightful place to look through to get a better idea of what comprised the whaling industry in the Atlantic from the US perspective.
