TRANSCENDING AN OCEAN AND NATIONAL BORDERS, a cultural bond was established by whalers centuries ago. A bridge of whale ships linked the nine islands to the continen�tal United States. This traveling exhibit introduces a larger, permanent exhibition at the New Bedford Whaling Museum designed to honor this legacy. The Azorean Whaleman Gallery chronicles the global contributions and impact of the Portu�guese speaking world on American maritime history.
