About This Item
Kendall Whaling Museum, 1969. 1969 First Edition. hardcover. vii, 209pp, illusts, original blue cloth with decorative gilt, signature of Ann Savours Shirley, the polar historian, Fine.. A catalogue of the prints in the Kendall Whaling Museum in Sharon, Massachusetts. The museum was founded in 1955 by Henry P. Kendall, who had been collecting whaling-related materials since the 1920s. He purchased the property of the former Sharon Sanatorium and officially opened in 1956, and grew in its facilities, collections, activities, and reputation for the next 45 years. It boasted a fine, eclectic international collection of whaling-related artworks, artifacts, tools and equipment, vessel logbooks, manuscripts, and photographs, as well as an ample research library. The museum operated in Sharon through to November 2001, when it closed its doors to the public and began the process of giving its collections to the New Bedford Whaling Museum..
