Exhibit of whaling equipment

photograph

Photograph mounted on oaktag with 1963.447.1-3; museum exhibit of whaling equipment; one of 13 photographs of whaling memorabilia collected by Robert Cushman Murphy for the Brooklyn Museum prior to 1915; subsequently he bought it back, selling most of it to the Nantucket Whaling Museum, keeping some; model of whaling bark later in Suffolk Museum; according to Murphy these are the only prints and it is unlikely that negatives still extant.
