Join Dr. Akeia Benard, Curator of Social History at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, for a presentation on how the whaling industry of New England brought people from all around the world to New Bedford. The whaling industry was certainly a driving force in globalization by the nineteenth century. The industry gave the United States a global presence from the beginning and indirectly expanded American presence into the Pacific while, at the same time, providing labor for men around the world who sought to escape colonial oppression, famine, drought, conscription and encroachment on traditional lands. As whaling captains anchored for fresh water, food, and leisure time and as American crew men died or deserted, men from countries with strong maritime cultures around the world were willing to sign on to whaling voyages for lower pay than their American counterparts. The whaling industry brought people from the Azores, Cape Verde, Brazil, and the Pacific Islands to the United States throughout this period—a legacy that is still visible on our diverse landscape. Funded by the Trustees of the Attleboro Public Library. Inspired by the NEA Big Read title, In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick, the Attleboro Public Library Writers embarked on a literary adventure exploring the ancient seafaring tradition of swapping stories known as “yarning”. Nathaniel Philbrick writes in his book that in the forecastle of the Essex the sailors often indulged in this ancient tradition of storytelling. The APL Writers collaborated with the residents of Christopher Heights in the writing of their extraordinary tales so they could present them to you. The storytelling event will be followed by entertaining musical performances and specially prepared refreshments. The Attleboro Chess Club meets every Thursday evening here at the library.

From Colonial times to the twentieth century, men of African ancestry worked aboard Yankee ships, in every capacity from greenhand to Captain. The maritime trades depended on the Black workforce, and offered opportunities for merit-based advancement that were not available in other industries.
