the

2014 Annual Report Wattles Jacobs Education Center Grand Opening Highlights from the Cartography Collection

Helm From the

As we collectively anticipate a September ribbon cutting of our new Education Center, allow me to at-tempt to put the accomplishment in some, albeit biased, perspective. We just closed out our 2014 annual audit and received another top 4 Star Charity Navigator award for accountability, transparency and good business practice. Our net assets have increased by $10 million over the past fi ve years to $30 million. The endowment has doubled to $9 million in the same time frame. Then, our reliance on the taxpayer account-ed for 37% of our income. Trustees implemented a strategic philanthropic switch, and today it is less than 2%, yet the operating budget remains the same. Then, the Museum looked at diff erent 5-year scenarios, one having the Museum close 4 days a week just to remain solvent. We didn’t close – we expanded, we learned how to do more with less and we became better for it.

continues unabated and has become more formalized. It used to be that the organization would publish a book or two a decade. Now we are printing two a year. � is higher level of scholarship and produc-tion drives our brand as a preeminent research center.

� e City invited the Museum to take a leadership role with the return of the Charles W. Morgan Homecoming celebrations, and we were happy to assist. Many memories and aspirations hung off her davits and downtown had the hustle and bustle feeling of a cosmopoli-tan center. Our visitation topped 105,000 in 2014, and signifi cantly

“This Annual Report describes our program of work. We spend your treasure in pursuit of a worthy cause, we endeavor to make our mission relevant for the many, we devote ourselves to

bettering the communities served, and aspire to make this institution preeminent.”by James RussellPresident & CEO

I like to think that we are an entrepreneurial museum and am always amused when people assume we are staid and placid. � ere were 12 galleries then, many needing major renovations, and many needing refreshed exhibits. Members like you stepped forward and today we have 20 galleries, new and restored. Unlike the dragon that sits on top of a pile of gold, the percentage of our collection that is out on view is remarkably high. Ask yourself if your museum experience is better today than it was just a few years ago. From what visitors tell us, the answer is a resounding yes. I trust that you fi nd the exhibits of a high order intellectually and designed with high production values too. Our collection has grown signifi cantly and with many impor-tant new gifts and major acquisitions, like the 1/3 scale model of the Concordia yawl. But back then, the collection was housed among fi ve diff erent locations, with some off site and unregulated.

By December 2015, however, all will be safely and securely consolidated under one roof, in climate controlled environments.

Not too long ago, education programs revolved around K-9 student visits. � is is how education was defi ned on Johnny Cake Hill. Now we work on multiple planes. � e docent-led programs continue to fl ourish and evolve and are complemented by a much broader ar-ray of programming tailored for specifi c audiences. Appropriately, the High School Apprenticeship Program is heralded as a national model, and with signifi cant partner help, students can get the very best out of the Museum, and get a leg up on life. Often overlooked, yet undiminished in intensity, is the important function of mentor-ing college interns and those interested in our fi elds of study. � is

over 50% of visitors, overwhelmingly local, enjoyed themselves at no charge. With another 140,000 visiting our traveling exhibitions in San Francisco and San Diego, we worked with our National Park to gain access to other Parks where we showcased our region’s diverse whaling story from coast to coast. Today Californians are our 5th largest visitor segment by state. Importantly, our base of support is expanding and linking cultural tourism with targeted marketing while leveraging our assets to attract visitors.

We set out to build an education center that would address the needs of our community, and they will soon reap the rewards of this

investment. On the fi rst fl oor, Casa dos Botes discovery center will be designed specifi cally for families and children, so that they can enjoy a museum experience while letting their kids explore freely. � e expansive 4th fl oor will have the best harbor views in New Bedford. Private funding again leads the way, with the vast majority of this coming from outside the City. � e Museum is proud to be a leader in downtown economic development and hopes that the investment in this city by so many of our members will encourage others to follow suit.

� e Wattles Jacobs Education Center will provide an outstanding extension to our mission and our campus. Already, programs are bursting at the seams ready to occupy spaces. � e entire visitor expe-rience will be coordinated, amplifi ed and deepened whether you are K or gray! Staff is united in moving forward with this ambitious and exciting agenda. � ey have proven year after year that they are up for the challenges that lie ahead. Speaking for them, I fi rmly believe that the Whaling Museum in 2015 is more relevant than ever. As a Member, I hope you are proud of your association, just as the Board of Trustees is sincerely grateful for your involvement, participation and most welcomed support.

2010: After years of being closed to the public, the Museum’s oldest gallery space undergoes extensive restoration and is reopened as the Wattles Family Gallery.

2010: Four million dollars in interior renovations are completed on the 1916 Bourne Building and the half-scale whaleship Lagoda.

As a second generation Cabo Verdean American, born in New Bedford in 1946, the Cabo Verdean story has a very special sig-nifi cance to me. My grandparents emigrated from Sau Nicolau, Cabo Verde to New Bedford during the early 1900s, in search of a better life for their families. As a young boy, I recall my grand-parents, Ma Mai and Pa Pai, talking in a sad way about the loved ones they left behind in Cabo Verde, that they would nev-er see again. I remember them talking about their homeland with such love and pride. I often heard the words sodade, amizad, and other terms of endearment for their beloved Cabo Verde. I also remember hearing my grandparents lamenting about Sau Nicolau with such sadness as if their hearts were in pain. � e songs mornas that I heard at family gatherings expressed the nostalgia of those left behind and of saying goodbye to everything they knew and loved about the homeland. � ose songs, conversations, and family gather-ings have left a lasting impression on me.

As Cabo Verdeans settled in the New Bedford area and began rais-ing families, they promoted their culture out of love and necessity, for that was the only culture they knew. It is a strong culture char-acterized by music, food, friendship, and love. Cabo Verdeans were known at that time for being hard workers who saw the value and benefi ts of a day’s labor. During those early days they worked as whalers, fi shermen, carpenters, factory workers, farmers, and labor-ers. My paternal grandfather arrived on the shores of New Bedford as an 18 year old deck hand on a whaling ship. He spent several years as a whaler before resorting to a land based job. He was proud of his life as a whaler and talked to my siblings and me about his experiences. He was a boatsteerer, and harpooner, and sometimes was assigned to the top of the mast as a lookout. He spoke very little English, but one could readily feel his enthusiasm when talking about life at sea. I remember some of his whaling riddles and phrases to this very day. Despite the rigors of such a diffi cult life of chasing whales, pa pai was proud that he was part of it and that whaling was his ticket to a better life. In 1965, long after he retired from all forms of employment, he returned to Sau Nicolau, the island where he was born. At that time I was a nineteen year old college student studying in Washington D.C. and never got the chance to say goodbye. Pa Pai returned to his

homeland where he died in 1966. I was able to visit his grave during my fi rst visit to Cabo Verde in 2012. A personal letter that I wrote to him is now in a small jewelry box buried next to him. � e engraving on the box says “love notes to Pa Pai.”

What I have told you represents a small portion of my story, and I think it is quite relevant to my visit to Cabo Verde this April. As a trustee since 2008, I have been involved in many worthwhile ini-tiatives of the organization. As co-chairperson of the Cabo Verdean Advisory Committee, I have been involved in helping to develop

the Cabo Verdean Maritime Exhibit, a permanent exhibit that tells some of story of the Cabo Verde/American experience with regard to whaling, immigration, and the infl uence of Cabo Verdean cul-ture. As a normal progression to telling the story to a wider audi-ence, the Cabo Verdean Advisory Committee played a key role in the development of a traveling exhibit with illustrations and text in both English and Portuguese for all to see. � at exhibit has thus far traveled from Massachusetts, to California, and now to Cabo Verde. Its arrival in Cabo Verde and the interest shown there was beyond my expectations and could very probably lead to a variety of other collaborative initiatives, including long term loans of relevant arti-facts, internships a the Museum, cultural exhibits, and more. � ere is truly a synergy between the Whaling Museum and the Minister of Culture of Cabo Verde. It is my hope that we will build upon the excitement and strengthen those ties that bind us together.

The week of April 17, 2015 was indeed a special time for me. It was then that James Russell and I went to Cabo Verde to present a traveling exhibit that tells the story of how the relationship between the U.S. and Cabo Verde began. The exhibit is a section of the Yankee Baleeiros! traveling exhibition that talks about the shared legacies between Yankee and Lusophone whalers.

One lends itself beautifully to salon style exhibitions of paintings and prints, while the other more intimate space devoid of natural light is designed to house the Museum’s precious but delicate Japanese and Chinese works on paper.

� e International Gallery is made possible by the gifts of Edgenie & Donald S. Rice and Sloan & Hardwick Simmons.

New GalleriesOpening in

2015 The Whaling Museum is delighted to announce the opening of three new gallery spaces in 2015. Each highlights key themes in the permanent collections.

The Dr. Gilbert and Frima Shapiro GalleryExhibition Opening: July 2015� e Dr. Gilbert and Frima Shapiro Gallery will feature New England fi ne and decorative arts, including the Museum’s Pairpoint and Mount Washington Glass Collections. An elegant space with historic architectural details, the Shapiro Gallery will highlight the contributions of New England to national and international art and design. � e Shapiro Gallery will be contiguous to the Wattles Family Gallery on the fi rst fl oor. Together these two galleries total over 1,000 square feet of gallery space for fi ne art, while allowing visitors to see the Museum’s original vestibule entrance, replete with historical plaques commemorating the opening of the fi rst public gallery in 1906.

� is gallery is made possible through a major gift by a gift from Dr. & Mrs. Gilbert L. Shapiro.

Old Dartmouth Hall of FameExhibition Opening: Fall 2015� e Hall of Fame will celebrate individuals who made substantial contributions to New Bedford’s social,

industrial, and cultural history from the 17th to 21st centuries.

� is exhibition will include notable fi gures like Frederick Douglass, Herman Melville, explorer Bartholomew Gosnold, merchant and abolitionist Paul Cuff e, Manjiro Nakahama, and millionaire fi nancier Hetty Howland Green. As a maritime center, New Bedford has always served as a hub for global communities and a meeting point for cultural exchanges. By featuring great stories of out-standing fi gures from New Bedford’s past and present, the exhibit will prompt visitors to consider

the relationship between individuals, society, and their place in the cultural and social fabric of this dynamic city.

� e Hall of Fame will occupy the third fl oor passageway to the Wattles Jacobs Education Center. Adjacent to the new Nye Lubricants Learning Labs and the Research Library, this location is ideal to inspire students and teachers towards important regional topics of inquiry and research.

Dr. Christina Connett has an exceptional team of experts in fi elds relevant to our mission. Our collections are available to scholars, students, and the general public for research.

Support for the internship program is provided by the Howard Bayne Fund and Kenneth T. & Mildred S. Gammons Charitable Foundation.

Patricia Birk-Smith, Fall 2014Trish began her internship with the Museum last September as a senior in UMASS Dartmouth’s Art History undergraduate program. As a curato-rial intern, she installed exhibitions, aided in the Panorama conservation project, helped catalogue the R. Swain Gifford collection, and curated an offsite exhibition at the Rotch-Jones-Duff House. Of her experience she says “I completed my goals and much more!”

Emma Rocha, Summer 2013 – Summer 2015Emma began working as a curatorial intern in July 2013 as part of Fairhaven High School’s School-to-Career Program. Emma’s most recent project was cataloguing a collection of over 700 prints created by Floyd Francis Cary of Pairpoint and Gunderson fame. Emma will continue as an intern with the Whaling Museum until she begins her first semester at Johns Hopkins this fall.

Nick Taradash, Summer 2014 – Present Nick Taradash currently works alongside others in the curatorial depart-ment aiding in the installation and de-installation of various exhibitions, most recently Energy and Enterprise.

Tisha Carver & Rebecca Sandler, Spring 2015Tisha and Rebecca are currently processing collections relating to Jacob Handy and Rachel B. Wing, respectively. Both are enrolled at Simmons’ Graduate School for Library and Information Science.

Stefan Strycher, Fall 2014Stefan, a student enrolled in Simmons Library Science, processed the Swift Family Papers. He created the finding aid and posted it to the Museum’s website, completing a project originally started by Nancy Thornton, a for-mer Museum Volunteer and dear friend of the Museum’s.

Peter Collins, Summer – Fall 2014Peter, a Hampshire College undergraduate fluent in German, translated the journal of Wilhelm Kromer (steward on the Lagoda’s 1882 voyage) from German to English.

Christina DeBenedictis, Fall 2014Christina, also a graduate student in the Simmons Library Science program, processed the Barney Family Papers, created the finding aid and added it to the website.

Emily Esten, Summer 2014Emily helped write and post finding aids for the Delano Family Papers, Howland Family Papers, and Eliza Russell Papers, to name a few.

Christina Frank, Summer 2014Christina designed a poster and banner for the Lusophone traveling exhibit, aided in the installation and de-installation of exhibits, and created a 3-dimensional computer model of the Reinhart Gallery for the Energy and Enterprise exhibit.

Juliette Lagny, Summer 2014Juliette helped assemble a dolphin skeleton currently on display, created and installed labels for various exhibitions, and catalogued and indexed manuscripts in the Research Library.

Jenna McKinley, Summer 2014Jenna researched and catalogued the silverware collection, and also helped to edit text for the Xico interactive now available in the Bourne Building.

Nemasket Group, Summer 2014 – PresentThe Museum also works closely with the Nemasket Group and has welcomed three young interns, all of whom have worked with Mark Procknik in the Research Library.

Interns 2014–2015

This past calendar year, 121 total volunteers provided 19,212.47 hours of service for the Whaling Museum, valued at $518,736.70. These dedicated individuals could be found analyzing charts and transcribing logbooks in the Research Library, leading student and adult tours through the exhibits, taking photographs in the conservation lab, and filing docu-ments in the Development office. In every nook of the Whaling Museum, there is a volunteer working to make our collections accessible to all visitors. This organization could not operate without you. Thank you.

casa dos botes discovery center

For children, adults, and families, it is important that this Museum is a welcoming place that nurtures a sense of discovery. We know that experiential learning leads to better cognitive outcomes with multi-sensory, active experiences being the best way for adults and children to learn. Our goal is to implement a “family-friendly” campus-wide exhibition interpretive plan. Because 60-70% of Museum visitors ar-rive in a family group, it is crucial that we engage families as a whole. � e solution is to layer an active interpretive hue across the entire campus. Major galleries will be clearly labeled as “kid-friendly.” By corollary, other galleries will be marked as fi ne art spaces, like the Rinehart, Wattles, Shapiro, and Braitmayer Galleries, but will still include interpretive elements.

A sub-committee of the Education Committee has been charged with oversight of this transformative eff ort. A close partnering between the Curatorial and Education Departments will ensure a seamless execution, from concept through completion. As a fi rst major step, the Trustees have designated the entire 1st fl oor of the new Wattles Jacobs Education Center as a “discovery center.” Informally known as “Casa Dos Botes,” this 4,000 sq. ft. space will keep this moniker. � is Discovery Center will host a whaleboat, the rearticulated fo’c’sle, and other interactive elements, and provide easy access to Cuff e Park; an outdoor play space. � e new Casa Dos Botes Discovery Center will begin a multi-year eff ort to create interactive experiences in many of the galleries.

Exactly 100 years ago, Emily Bourne envisioned building a half-scale model of the bark Lagoda, replete with rigged sails, working deck-gear, and below-deck cabins. In the spirit of Emily Bourne, there is a sense of déjà vu as we embark on implementing a campus-wide exhibit interpretive program. It is easy to imagine the discussions that must have occurred amongst curators on how to reconcile the inherent confl icts of this “play-ship” with the desire to furnish the limited gallery space with fi ne arts. Indeed, this quandary exists today. Throughout the Museum, conscious and unconscious decisions have been made about which spaces and artifacts are accessible—step on board the Lagoda, climb into the Azorean whaleboat Pico, stretch out in the bunks of the fo’c’sle—or—don’t climb into the Yankee whaleboat, don’t touch the skeletons, and for goodness sake don’t play with the harpoons.

DeValles Elementary SchoolK-12 Programs and Science Director, Robert Rocha, supported by apprentices and volunteer, Melody Barlow, designed and implement-ed an after-school program for 5th grade students at the DeValles Elementary School from October to March with 22 students par-ticipating. Students discovered the world’s oceans through a variety of activities including: 3-D puzzles, water density experiments, and beautifully illustrated books. � e students were introduced to four species of whales while touring the Museum and then conducted research to make their own dioramas complete with environmen-tal background and a gallery card. On the last day of the program, parents, guardians, and other after-school students were invited to a “gallery opening” of all the dioramas displayed. Cake and lemonade were served, of course!

Roosevelt Middle SchoolSeventeen 7th grade advance learning students from Roosevelt Mid-dle School are participating in research projects using the Museum’s galleries, library, website, and educators as resources to gather infor-mation. After a Visual � inking Strategies activator, students explored the galleries to fi nd topics that sparked their interests. Librarian Mark Procknik pulled information related to their topics when they subse-quently visited the Research Library. For example, a student studying the ethnicity of whalers was presented with crew lists demonstrating the changing demographics over time; a student studying families

on whaleships poured over log books written by children; students studying products made from whales perused newspaper advertise-ments from the nineteenth century; students studying scrimshaw looked at elegantly dressed ladies in journals and then saw those same images carved into pieces of scrimshaw. Museum educators, along with volunteer John Brindisi, also visited Roosevelt Middle School to help students use digital resources to further their projects. When completed, students will present their fi ndings in the Museum � e-ater to parents, teachers, and other school groups visiting that day.

Chromebooks/Google Classroom� e Museum purchased Chromebooks to enhance our educational off erings. � ey are initially being used for the Roosevelt Middle School Research Project. � e Chromebooks facilitate collaboration through a Google Classroom that Director of Digital Initiatives, Michael Lapides, developed. � e Google Classroom allows more than one student to work on a document simultaneously, on-line video chat capabilities with Museum curators and educators, access to on-line research materials, and a place to store collected informa-tion. Final projects will be accessible in the Google Classroom site and can be shared with other classes, parents, and the community.

“The new Casa Dos Botes Discovery Center will begin a multi-year eff ort to create interactive experiences in many of the galleries.”

Interactives Heavy Interactives Medium Interactives Light Education Space

Climbing aboard the fo’c’sle off ers visitors one of the best interpretive and interactive exhibits the Whaling Museum has to off er. “Visit-ing whalers” of all ages envision the rough sea conditions endured aboard whaleships and the trying experiences of resilient whalemen. When visitors come on-deck, they quickly appreciate that the neat-ly maintained belaying pins conceal a complex labyrinth of blocks, pulleys, lines, and sheets necessary for successful hoisting, lowering, and setting of the sails.

� e windless provides a hands-on, muscles-on encounter with a sim-ple, but powerful machine mighty enough to hoist a gigantic anchor. Visitors pump the handles in synchrony while singing sea shanties imagining strong whalers passing the long day raising the anchor. � e exposed gears reveal the levers’ eff ect to rotate the barrel and heave the anchor line into neat coils.

Below, visitors explore the claustrophobic cave of the sleeping quar-ters. A fl ashlight shining through the deck prism casts fractured, dull rays of light in the hollow. Visitors envision mighty men of all nation-alities surviving unimaginable conditions while living in tiny bunk and sharing these tight, dank, smelly, rodent infested quarters.

No amount of vivid description by knowledgeable authors or stories pictured on user-guides can replace the tactile, experi-ential understanding of life on a whaleship more than climbing aboard the fo’c’sle. Visiting school groups plead for the fo’c’sle’s return. � e fo’c’sle stands cen-tral to so many stories of whaling: diff erent ethnicities working side by side, freed slaves escaping persecution, immigrants making a new life in a new world bringing an international fl avor to the Port of New Bedford.

An Essential Whaling Experience: Reconstructing the Forecastle (Fo’c’sle)

Above: Museum docent Jackie DeBarros leads school students on a fo’c’sle adventure.

Left and Middle: Curatorial staff beings the process of deconstruction.

Please join others in making a generous gift to the Fo’c’sle project. Your donation will help bring a whaling voyage to life for generations of Museum visitors to come. Contributions can be made by the enclosed envelope, or by contacting Caitlin McCaff ery, at 508-717-6816 or cmccaff ery@whalingmuseum.org.

This spring, the Curatorial Department began the bittersweet project of deconstructing the Fo’c’sle to allow for the future internal passageway from the galleries into the Wattles Jacobs Education Center (WJEC). But fear not, Fo’c’sle enthusiasts, a newly constructed and updated version will open in 2016 to bring this experience back to life. With your help, it will serve as a central feature of the Casa Dos Botes Discovery Center, alongside Azorean and Yankee whaleboats.

Maps are obsessive, abstract spatial constructions with at least one, and sometimes several agendas. � ese agendas can be economic, po-litical, religious, imperial, or simply to tell you how to get from here to there. � e best maps eliminate superfl uous chaos of geographi-cal information that is not relevant to their respective purposes and represent brilliant economy of design.

A navigational chart of Buzzards Bay will not, for example, describe bike paths along the coast of Cuttyhunk as that is not its agenda, any more than the London Underground map indicates national monu-ments or streets – in both cases functionality dictates the omission and inclusion of details appropriate to its intended use. � e Buzzards Bay chart assumes the user has some form of watercraft and the desire to familiarize themselves with soundings, obstacles, and lighthouse rhythms in culturally recognizable language and symbols with the

intention to safely travel within its boundaries, while the London Un-derground (arguably one of the best maps ever designed), describes a subterranean world as a succession of stops and access points with no regard for relevant distances nor tourist sites along the way. As users, we make assumptions of the usefulness and truths of maps in regards to our own purpose and use them accordingly.

We often, for example, assume maps are scientifi cally objective tools to navigate us from point to point, that they are telling us truths about the world in which we live. Herein often lies their power of persuasion in many applications. � ey are, in fact, subjective, cultural symbols, and like any form of visual art and design, they have stories to tell about the times in which they were produced and the inten-tions and interests of those who produced them. Who is the maker? Who is the user? Who paid for it? What is its purpose? What infor-mation is included, what is excluded, and why? If we accept the map as any other nonverbal sign system such as painting or music, we can deconstruct its symbolism and context in much the same way as we would any other form of cultural expression.

Take maps of whales, for example...

The story of mankind’s historic relationship to whales is buried in layers of linguistic, cultural, biological, economic and spiritual diversity. One methodology of decoding the complexities of these relationships is through cartographic study, as the genre off ers unique gateways to academic inquiry. While space allows only a few examples here, the potential for the application of this approach in the NBWM map collections is immense, from medieval manuscripts of sea monsters to the plotted charts of whalers to the sound waves of whale songs to the stars in the sky.

Mapping Whales:

Cultures Converge in the PacificLi Zhizao (Chinese, fl . 1598-1629) and Matteo Ricci (Italian, 1552-1610). Pacifi c Ocean section of a mappa mundi. Watercolor and ink on Chinese mulberry paper, signed and inscribed, c. 1602-10. 2001.100.4531.

A section of the Matteo Ricci mappa mundi (world map), now on display in the International Gallery, is a fascinating glimpse of the world known and unknown at the time of its creation in the early 17th century. While the map was de-signed by the Chinese cartographer Li Zhizao, it is a wonder-ful example of a convergence of style and information from western and eastern cartographic sources. � e whale-like sea creatures and Portuguese ships are possibly derived from maps and charts that Matteo Ricci, a Jesuit missionary, brought to China in 1582, and refl ect European aesthetics regarding the edges of the known world juxtaposed with sophisticated Chi-nese geographical knowledge.

� is is the third panel in a series of six manuscripts compris-ing a magnifi cent Ming Dynasty illustrated world map. � e other fi ve are known only from extant later printed editions. Oriented with north at the top, it includes European decora-tive elements but also geographical content that is distinctly eastern, in that some locales were unknown in Europe at this time, such as the Bering Strait, parts of the Siberian coast, the western and northern coasts of Alaska, Herschel Island, and possibly Australia. � e whales are evidence of cultural and intellectual connections between East and West and incorpo-rate, like many maps, fact and fi ction. � ey range from a scaly creature with a double blow hole to a lumpy monster looking more like a rhinoceros than a whale, but each with recogniz-able ties to 16th century European cartographic decorations of whales and while-like animals.

SAGRES is a steel-built three masted barque, with square sails on the fore and main masts and gaff rigging on the mizzen mast. Her main mast rises 42 m above the deck. She carries 22 sails totaling about 2,000 m² (21,000 ft²) and can reach a top speed of 17 knots (31 km/h) under sail.

The ship has sailed under the Portuguese fl ag since 1962. With its celebratory fi gurehead of Prince Henry the navigator, SAGRES takes her name from the port town where Prince Henry founded his navigational school that sent forth the great explorers of the Atlantic, Pacifi c, and Indian oceans. Her last visit to New Bedford was in 1996.

The Whale and the Holy LandAbraham Ortelius (Flemish, 1527-1598). Terra Sancta a Petro Laicstain perlustrata, et ab eius ore et schedis a Christiano Schrot in tabulam redacta. Engraving on paper, c. 1612. 2001.100.8229.

Depicting the Mediterranean shoreline from Beirut to Gaza, this map includes many decorative biblical elements, the most promi-nent of which depicts Jonah being thrown from a galleon into the mouth of a “great fi sh,” often interpreted as a whale, as punishment for disobeying God’s will. He spent three days and nights in the belly of the beast but upon repenting, he was expelled onto dry land, a whole and changed man. � e story of Jonah and the whale symbol-izes man’s capacity for penitence and God’s capacity for forgiveness.

Like many medieval Christian mappae mundi (maps of the world), Terra Sancta is oriented with east at the top (hence the word “orien-tation”, to align oneself to the “orient”, or east), as that is the direc-tion of the rising sun, the light of God, and the Garden of Eden. � e map’s orientation is as relevant as its decorative elements in con-textualizing and legitimizing the agenda. Certainly not intended for navigation Terra Sancta asserts the narratives of a Christian, not a

Jewish nor Islamic Holy Land. Although these three religions in-clude Jonah in their belief systems and share a geographic heritage, it is Christianity that dominates this perspective, as the cartouche (title and relevant decoration) includes medallions of Christ’s Crucifi xion, the Pietá, and the Resurrection. � e whale and its integral role in the redemption story of Jonah shows the viewer the Holy Land in the context of Christian salvation.

Whale Watching at Night “The Visible Heavens in October, November and December,” colored engraving published in Elijah Burritt, Atlas, Designed To Illustrate The Geography Of The Heavens. New York: Huntington and Savage, 1835.

While Cetus is often described in myth as a sea monster, it appears in many celestial globes, charts, and atlases as “� e Whale” and its brightest star, Deneb Kaitos, is Arabic for “tail of the whale.” � e order of Cetacea which includes the whales, dolphins, and porpoises, is derived from the Latin word cetus, and is refl ected in derivatives of the term in words like spermaceti, the waxy oil in the head of the sperm whale.

� e atlas of which this map is a part was designed for amateur enthu-siasts and students by Elijah Burritt, a school teacher who sought to replace the cumbersome and expensive celestial globe with a portable and cheaper atlas. He included only the brightest stars and planets visible with the naked eye as well as commonly known constellations using accessible graphics and beautiful illustrations. Burrit’s atlas was very popular and subsequently printed in many editions over 40 years.

For whale watchers in the Northern Hemisphere, the best time to spot Cetus is in November.

Continued from page 19

Continued on page 24

� is celestial chart depicts the constellation Cetus, sea monster and whale, which appears in the Northern Sky in a region called the Wa-ter which also include the constellations Eridanus (the river), Aquar-ius (water bearer), and Pisces (the fi shes). Cetus is one of 48 con-stellations catalogued by Ptolemy in the 2nd century but likely its origins are much earlier. Navigation on land and sea has historically relied on the stars, and memorizing their locations and movements through constellations, or pictorial groupings according to cultur-ally identifi able imagery is an ancient strategy. Celestial charts like this one can be exquisite records of mythologies and artistic beauty refl ecting tremendous variety in theme and design.

In the Greek myth of Andromeda, the princess is chained to a rock to be eaten by Cetus, as a sacrifi ce to appease Poseidon. � e sea god had been insulted by Andromeda’s mother Cassiopeia, who claimed she was more beautiful than the Neieds, or sea nymphs. Rescued by Perseus, Andromeda and Cetus are still each bound together in the proximity of their respective constellations.

Maps can serve as cultural celebrations while at the same time documentations of whales and whaling. � is anatomical map of a right whale in a 19th century manuscript derived from early 18th century Japanese sources demonstrates a level of highly detailed tech-nical knowledge of cetaceans well above that of contemporary Europeans. � is beauti-ful section from a 33 foot long scroll, with text by the scholar Tomokiyo Oyamada, describes whaling scenes from the house of Masutomi on the island of Ikitsukijima, while the accompanying document is “an anatomical atlas” of the whales they hunted.

Here, a right whale is illustrated at the top with labels describing fl ensing (the cutting process of the whale) terms and below is a detailed diagram of the whale’s anatomy. � e Isanatori ekotoba celebrates the Masu-tomi for their superior whaling strategies but it also celebrates the whale. In a modern English translation of Tomokiyo Oyamada’s text, “…there are no fi shes superior to a whale in size, and also there are no fi shes superior to a whale…” � is “atlas” of the

whale is a fabulous indication of the deep knowledge of and respect for the whale in Japanese culture during the Edo period. (Many thanks to Hayato Sakurai, Curator of Taiji Historical Archives and Advisory Curator to NBWM).

� e annual audit was conducted and the auditor issued a “clean opinion”. In addition, the Museum has once again earned the top four-star rating for fi nancial health, accountability, and transparency from Charity Navigator, America’s largest and most-utilized inde-pendent evaluator of charities.

In summary, the Museum is fi nancially stronger than ever. It has built the fi nancial capacity to accomplish its educational and cul-tural mission and is well positioned for future growth and the new initiatives planned for the Wattles Jacobs Education Center. Con-gratulations to all and a special “thank-you” to Museum donors for their generous and unwavering support.

A Report From the Treasurer

In 2014, the Whaling Museum laid out its Finan-cial Stewardship Goals in its 5 Year Strategic Plan (2014 – 2019). Management and trustees com-mitted to a conservative fi nancial management strategy and to the assurance of best practices and transparency expected of a vibrant institution.

For 2014, management put in place a balanced operating plan that aimed to grow programs and exhibitions, seek out new sources of fi nancial support and earned revenue, maximize operational effi ciency, and ensure the vigilant oversight of the en-dowment such that it continues to provide support for operations. In addition, management and trustees committed to consolidate operations onto a single campus with the start of construction of the Wattles Jacobs Education Center.

� e fi nancial results for 2014 were outstanding and are a testament to the concerted eff orts of management, staff , and volunteers to maintain cost effi ciencies in programs and operations and to their determined commitment to our mission and goals.

� is success can be measured by:• � e seventh consecutive year of positive operating results;• A 9% increase in revenue and support;• A 16% increase in spending on programs and exhibitions;• A 2% improvement in operating and fundraising effi ciency.

Rev. Mudge is no small fi gure in New Bedford history and his return to his old neighborhood on Johnny Cake Hill is a 183-year journey come full circle for the popular chaplain who befriended mariners and landsmen alike during the height of the whaling era.

Known locally as Father Mudge, he was the fi rst minister appointed by the New Bedford Port Society for the newly constructed Seamen’s Bethel. Long considered by scholars to be Herman Melville’s model for Father Mapple in Moby-Dick, Rev. Mudge served the Bethel from 1832 to 1844 when ill health forced him to retire. He pub-lished several works, including “Twelve Lectures to Seamen” in 1836 as well as hymnals and poetry.

In Chapter 8, Ishmael observes Father Mapple as “a man of a certain venerable robustness” – a description that aptly fi ts this command-ing portrait. Its provenance is directly connected to Dick Godfrey’s family. “My great uncle, Benjamin Joy, was the last of his line, living in Boston – on Joy Street, Beacon Hill, where the house was original-ly… Ben in his later years moved into the Somerset Club and lived there until he died. He left me this portrait,” Dick said.

Like the Dabneys of Boston, the Joy family was involved in banking and diplomacy. “� ere was an earlier Benjamin Joy who was made consul to Calcutta, India, and I have the certifi cate signed by George Washington and � omas Jeff erson,” Dick said. Well versed in family history, Dick continued, “Mudge died in 1850. He was described as the fi rst native Methodist preacher in New England and was grant-ed Rhode Island as his territory in 1793. In 1832 he became the minister of the Seamen’s Bethel in New Bedford. He married a lady called Jerusah Hinckley in 1797. His granddaughter was a lady called Mary Louise Mudge. She was born July 12, 1884 and she married my mother’s grandfather, Charles Henry Joy. So it’s a family portrait com-ing in on my mother’s side. Charles Henry Joy had a son, Benjamin Joy, born in 1882 and he was my great uncle, and a fabulous friend.”

Authorship of the portrait is not known for certain at this time, how-ever, Dr. Christina Connett, Curator of Collections & Exhibitions, and her staff will conduct research to determine the artist once the portrait is received at the Museum, planned for next year. In any case, the portrait is masterfully executed. As Dick notes, “from my

non-expert eye, it’s very well done, showing great character, and it’s in pretty good shape. I had it restored when I was living back east, perhaps in 1975.”

Rev. Mudge’s portrait will occupy a prominent place in the Museum’s future Hall of Fame gallery, planned to be a pantheon of the great men and women who shaped Old Dartmouth and New Bedford.

By ARTHUR MOTTA, JR., Director of Marketing and Communications

Richard Godfrey of California thought carefully to whom he would donate the large portrait of his famous ancestor, Reverend Enoch R. Mudge (1776-1850). He chose the New Bedford Whaling Museum for many reasons. “We had a house in Marion until last year, so we’re familiar with the Whaling Museum and particularly with the way it seems to have picked up some backers in recent years and has a totally refreshed and attractive look. This is what got me thinking this portrait would be best off with this institution,” he noted in a recent interview.

� roughout history the written word marks our evolution. � e 19th century Japanese scrolls, which will be featured in the new International Gallery, are an invitation to ex-perience a form of writing and artistic expres-sion that preceded the codex. A collection of pages bound together in book form, this early innovation was developed sometime around the 1st century C.E. and off ered a major advantage over the scroll, random ac-cess to a particular page without having to pass through all the ones before or after it.

Older works that are now digitized and newer works that are “born digital” allow even greater access. Vast quantities of human knowledge have been and will continue to be transmitted to devices worldwide, mul-tiplying exponentially the opportunity to discover unknown connections and to build upon existing ones.

� at is the good news. What is less clear is what is happening to the concepts of perma-nence and expertise in the Digital Age. Will this transmitted content be as reliable as the printed or handwritten page? � e verdict is still out. In the meantime, and perhaps for-ever, we continue to be dependent, perhaps happily so, on the book. Long live this form, the cover that opens, the page that turns.

Llewellyn Howland III’s No Ordinary Being: A Biography of W. Star-ling Burgess is written based on a lifetime of fascination about the man and his accomplishments. It tells the story of an exceptionally cre-ative and daring individual who at times led a troubled life. Burgess was an inventor, naval architect, poet, aviation pioneer, automotive engineer, and America’s Cup yacht designer. � e book is a must read for boat lovers and non-boat lovers alike.

Following on this yachting theme, author Stan Grayson has writ-ten the fi rst book-length biography of C. Raymond Hunt entitled A Genius at His Trade: C. Raymond Hunt and His Remarkable Boats. Hunt’s uncanny skill at the helm and many design innovations made him a legend in his own time. Today, 37 years after his death at age 70, Hunt is recognized as one of the most infl uential yacht design-

ers of the 20th century. His most enduring designs, the Concordia Yawl and the origi-nal Boston Whaler, are recognized as classics of form and function. His development of the deep-V hull, on which he briefl y held a patent, was the basis for many of the high-speed, mono-hull powerboats that followed. In his wake, Hunt left a legacy that contin-ues today in the fi rms that bear his name: C. Raymond Hunt Associates of New Bed-ford, Massachusetts, and Hunt Yachts of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. � e publication date is scheduled for September 15, 2015.

A couple weeks later, on September 26th, we will launch Treasures of the Whaling Museum: Touchstone to a Region’s Past. � e Whaling Museum has evolved as a nexus for the diverse communities of Southeastern Massachusetts. How did the Museum come into existence and why does its relevance continue to grow with each generation? Trea-sures that illustrate the answer will be pre-sented in this new publication designed as a keepsake volume of the museum experience, including concise text and copious reproduc-tions, illuminating the history and scope of the world’s largest museum dedicated to the global interaction of humans with whales.

� e fourth book, Yankee Baleeiros! � e Shared Legacies of Luso and Yankee Whalers, produced in concert with the travelling exhibition of the same name, recently arrived in our store, � e White Whale. It tells the interwoven Luso-American stories of the Azorean, Cape Verdean, and Brazilian communities to the United States, from early immigra-tion in the 18th century through the latter half of the 20th century. With great appreciation the Museum acknowledges the eff orts and insights of the project’s Advisory Scholars and the Cape Verdean and Portuguese Advisory Committees. Without their considerable input, this initiative, and this book would not have been possible.

� e technological advances of the late 19th century, when combined with the expansion of processing capabilities in the early 20th century, created an industry that could es-sentially catch and quickly process any whale in any ocean. In total, the years from 1900 through 1999 saw nearly 2.9 million large whales killed and processed globally by in-dustrialized whaling. � is was an effi cient and ruthless hunt.

In the 1860’s, the Norwegian whaler and sealer, Svend Føyn, introduced the steam-powered whale catcher and the exploding harpoon gun to the whaling industry. In the 1870’s he improved upon shore-based fac-tory processing to a level that came to be considered a standard for the industry. By the time the 20th century began, the era of modern whaling - at least in the Northern Hemisphere - was well under way.

Until World War I, industrial whaling in the Southern Hemisphere focused primarily on humpback whales. After this, several partici-pating countries took full advantage of the previously unexploited stocks of large ror-quals. � ese species had not (with the excep-tion of humpbacks) been available to the tra-ditional Yankee whalers, whose small wooden boats could not be rowed fast enough to catch these whales. � e ability of a modern catcher boat to fi re exploding harpoons and inject air into these fast-swimming whales (that would have otherwise sunk when they were killed) removed any advantage a whale might have had over a whaling ship.

� e year 1925 marked the arrival in the Ant-arctic of the fi rst modern pelagic stern-slip fac-tory ship, the British vessel Lansing. � e abil-ity to quickly process large numbers of whales

in habitats far off shore greatly increased the effi ciency of the industry. Beginning in 1927, industrial whalers were consistently killing more than 20,000 whales annually in the Southern Hemisphere. Between 1934 and 1939 more than 34,000 whales were killed each year. � e onset of World War II and the repurposing of resources led to a six-year pe-riod of reduced whaling.

Twentieth century whaling was far more in-tense in the Southern Hemisphere (though no less devastating to some populations north of the equator): the number of whales killed in the Southern Hemisphere was 2.5 times greater than in the Northern. Over the three decades following World War II, the most intensive 5-year period for whaling in

the Southern Hemisphere was 1957-1961, when 280,133 whales were killed and pro-cessed. By contrast, the most intensive fi ve-year span for whales in the north was 1966-1970, when 153,722 whales were killed.

For this report, any whale that was processed at a shore whaling station or on a fl oating fac-tory ship was considered to have been killed by industrial methods. All known catches for species caught by subsistence whaling hunts were omitted from the tallies. Here, taking advantage of newly revised catch fi gures for Soviet whaling in both the Southern Ocean and the North Pacifi c, we have provided a tally of the total number of whales killed since full-scale modern industrial whaling began shortly after 1900.

A Genius at His TradeC. Raymond Hunt and His Remarkable Boats

Stan GraysonForeword by Llewellyn Howland III

� is is the story of a supremely gifted sailor who became one of the th century’s most innovative designers of both sail and power-boats. Today, the name C. Raymond Hunt remains synonymous with some of the most popular boats ever created. � ey include the classic Concordia yawls and sloops, the original Boston Whaler, the pioneering Miami-Nassau race-winner Moppie, and the production Bertram and Sportfi sherman, among others.

� ose who sailed with Ray Hunt never forgot his special touch on the helm or his uncanny ability to predict wind behavior. Designers still marvel at his new ideas for sailboats in a variety of competitive classes, and for powerboats. While the original foot Boston Whaler pioneered a new market clamoring for versatile, safe, small boats, the deep-V hull revolutionized expectations of speed and seaworthiness.

A Genius at His Trade not only presents the story of Hunt’s boats but also explores the man himself. � is biography gives readers a moving portrait of Ray Hunt as son, husband, and father. It’s a book that any lover of boats, whether sail or power, will fi nd fascinating.

From the Classic Concordia Yawl and sloops to the pioneering / one-designs, the original Boston Whaler, and development of deep-V cruisers and sportfi shermen,

designer Ray Hunt left an enduring legacy of unmatched innovation.

“Hunt was an idea man. He saw things, dreamed of things, drew things, built things that none of his contemporaries ever did. Woven into Ray Hunt’s every fi ber was a

natural design sense that relied not at all on formal training or study. It grew from his particular genius.”

Yankee whaling involved just two major inventions throughout its history, the on-board tryworks and the Temple toggle iron. This form of whaling, which was restricted by its dependence on wind energy and human muscle, is estimated to have captured 300,000 sperm whales globally in the years 1712-1899. Rough estimates of American sail-powered whaling harvests for all species total 423,000 in the 19th century, compared to nearly 2.9 million in the 20th century.
