Ed Talks with Julia Triezenberg, Museum Educator at the Columbia River Maritime Museum
Golden Age of Whaling: The role whaling has played throughout American history and exploration has rarely been given its due credit by historians. Learn how these hunts took Americans around the world in chase of a large payday and even larger whales. We will explore life at sea for whalemen (and a few women) in the 1800s and the first truly American art form: scrimshaw.
