Scrimshaw, The Whalers' Art, Collection of the Nantucket Historical Association

During long voyages when they were not pursuing whales, the whalers often turned to scrimshaw as a way to pass the time. The art form involved engraving images, some very detailed, on whale teeth or bone, not a simple endeavor on a tossing ship. The results were often spectacular. Join us to learn more about this unique shipboard art and to get an up-close look at the highlights of the Nantucket Historical Association’s extensive scrimshaw collection.
