Sailing requires many skills and expert hands, but sometimes the winds die down and there’s time to kill which is when, if you’re a sailor, you do a little scrimshaw! If you find yourself in New Bedford, MA, don’t miss the New Bedford Whaling Museum’s @whalingmuseum scrimshaw collection (and its many other treasures – namely, the longest painting in North America, the 1,275 foot long Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage)!
We’re looking at scrimshaw as visual reference for our Imaginative Nautical Instrument sculpture. But we’re going lo-tech-high tech! Stay tuned…
