Recently read a novel about the New Bedford Whaling Industry. Finally got around to researching some sites and a couple may be interest to some on the list. Did anyone on our list have ancestors who were whalers? http://history1800s.about.com/od/whaling/a/histwhaling.htm http://www.whalingmuseum.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_whaling Lauraine

Not sure about whalers, but many of my Nova Scotia kin were seamen. My great grandmother lost a brother and two nephews on the same ship during an Atlantic Storm in late 1800's. Elsie in W.
