Description
Once again I read "Moby Dick" and once again I became interested in the history of whaling. For this painting I used a historic photograph of New Bedford, Massachusettes. I believe it dates to about 1850 when whale oil was used to light the world, petroleum had not yet been discovered in Pennsylvania (1859), and the exploding grenade harpoon had not yet been invented (1868).
