Give yourself at least two hours, it's phenomenal
New Bedford Whaling Museum的点评
点评:If you have any interest in learning about whaling, or even local / national commerce before the age of shale oil, do yourself a favor an dedicate at least two hours to visit here (maybe more). It's one of the best museums I've ever been in, given its focus (and this is comparing to the NYC met and Chicago's field museum). They cover whaling almost as well as in Moby Dick. They discuss national and international trade extensively. They explain the multitude of engineering / fuel uses for whales and the related impact on their survival as various species. There are guides there who are more than willing to chat with you and answer a multitude of questions you didn't know you had. There really is no way to see all of it in one visit, i.e. too overwhelming, so it's worth a second trip if in the area. It's just outstanding.
翻译:如果您有兴趣了解捕鲸活动,甚至页岩油时代之前的当地 / 国家贸易,请花至少两个小时(甚至更多)来参观这里。鉴于它的重点(与纽约大都会博物馆和芝加哥野外博物馆相比),这是我去过的最好的博物馆之一。它们对捕鲸的介绍几乎和《白鲸记》一样详尽。他们广泛讨论了国内和国际贸易。他们解释了鲸鱼的众多工程 / 燃料用途及其对不同物种生存的影响。那里的导游非常乐意与您聊天,回答您不知道的众多问题。一次参观真的不可能看完所有内容,也就是说,内容太过丰富,所以如果在该地区,值得再去一次。这真是太棒了。
