The Hunt for Whales, presented at the Nantucket Whaling Museum
The story of what it was like to hunt for whales in the 18th-19th centuries has been told since the 1930s when retired whaling captain George Grant became the first curator of the Nantucket Whaling Museum and shared his first-hand whaling experiences with museum visitors. That began a long-standing tradition of telling this same story passed down to each new generation of museum interpreters. Today, the "Hunt Lecture" AKA "The Hunt" is told daily in Gosnell Hall at the Nantucket Whaling Museum under the whale skeleton.
This version of "The Hunt" was created as a multi-media presentation to celebrate the opening of the new Nantucket Whaling Museum in 2005.
