Whaling wasn't just a job, it was America's first integrated industry. Step aboard to discover the stories of African-American whalers, who made up a quarter to a third of every crews. Explore their courage, the challenges they faced, and how life at sea linked them to the fight for freedom, including remarkable connections to the Underground railroad. Registration is underway.
