Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NBED_010907_012.JPG: The altar was shown in the "Moby Dick" movie even though the church didn't have it. They decide to add it afterward because people kept coming by looking for it.
2. NBED_010907_013.JPG: "This table was erected by the Captain, Officers & Crew, of the Ship Braganza of New Bedford. In memory of Quincy A. Harlow, of Bridgewater Mass. aged 19 y'rs, who fell overboard Dec 8 1848 and was lost. -- But why mourn his loss, or in sorrow repine, For he's now at rest in mansions divine; Where the storm and the billow shall assail him no more, But with spirits made perfect, he'll praise ever more."
3. NBED_010907_014.JPG: "Erected by Amelia Nansett Trask In loving memory of her sister Laura M Lewis her niece Dorothy L Lewis and her brother-in-law Captain Joseph Lewis and the crew of the whaling brig "Viola" Left New Bedford Sept 4 1917 Lost at sea."
4. NBED_010907_018.JPG: "This Tablet was erected by the Capt, Officers & Crew of the Ship Huntress of New Bedford. In memory of William C Kirkwood of Boston Mass, aged 25 y'rs, who fell from aloft off Cape Horn Feb 10, 1850 and was drowned."
5. NBED_010907_019.JPG: Herman Melville was supposed to have been inspired to write "Moby Dick" (1851) in part based on reading this tablet for day after day in service: "In Memory of Capt Wm Swain, Associate Master of the Christopher Mitchell of Nantucket. This worthy man after fastning to a whale, was carried overboard by the line, and drowned May 19, 1844 in the 49th Year of his age. -- Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh."
6. NBED_010907_035.JPG: The marker for this says: Lewis Temple Blacksmith Inventor of the Iron Toggle Harpoon Tip Born in Richmond Virginia in 1800, Lewis Temple established himself as a blacksmith on the New Bedford waterfront by 1836. Temple manufactured his first toggle-iron in 1848. It's [sic] fastening power revolutionized the catching of whales. The invention was never patented, therefore his only royalty was the name that clung to it. He died in New Bedford in 1854. Millions were made in the whaling industry because of Temple's toggle. After business debts were cleared, there was no legacy left for his family.

Wikipedia Description: New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and is maintained by the National Park Service. The park commemorates the heritage of the world's preeminent whaling port during the 1800s.

Established in 1996, the park encompasses 34 acres (14 hectares) spread over 13 city blocks and includes a visitor center, a National Historic Landmark District, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Seamen's Bethel, the Schooner Ernestina, and the Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum.

The enabling legislation also established a legislative connection with the Inupiat Heritage Center in Barrow, Alaska, to commemorate the more than 2,000 whaling voyages from New Bedford to the Western Arctic.

2001 photos: Image quality is going to be pretty bad because these are scans of negatives and prints. They were usually taken on a Pentax ME-Super. This was the year of 9/11 and many of the places that had been commonplace to visit beforehand suddenly became a pain in the neck or not available at all. I took a two-week trip right before 9/11 in New England and then took a one-week trip afterward to North Carolina.
