The Kendall Whaling Museum is pleased to announce the 1997 Scrimshaw Collector's Weekend which has been scheduled for 20-21-22 June.

Box 297, Sharon, MA 02067. The Kendall Whaling Museum collectors' weekends are the only forum where collectors, curators, dealers, and other enthusiasts gather to confer about the whalers’ distinctive and evocative occupational art form. Our purpose has been to nurture enlightened appreciation of scrimshaw as an art form and as an historical pursuit.
