"History of the American Whale Fishery, better known as Starbucks shows the ship Niger, a ship of 412 tons captained by Jacob L Cleaveland. She sailed from New Bedford May 29,1866 for the North Pacific, returning May 12, 1870. Captained by Charles Grant, she sailed November 10, 1870 from New Bedford and returned August 10, 1874. The same book also shows a 437-ton whaling ship called Niger being built in 1844 at Mattapoisett. She sailed from New Bedford in 1844, 1848, 1852, 1856 and 1861."
The Whaler's Heritage Project.
This exquisite piece of scrimshaw, created by master scrimshander, Ray Caruso, is etched onto a cross section of fossil Woolly Mammoth ivory, seated atop a custom Black Walnut base. When you view this one of a kind piece of art in your collection, you will participate, in a sense, to an industry thought to have been first established along the shores of New England around 1650.
