"The city of light" New Bedford

[J. Dillon]

This city was billed as such during the hey day of whaling. Spermacetti from the sperm whale gave the best and purest light. It was shipped all over the world.

Come take the tour with me. See the cooper do his thing ( in case you want to make your own barrels or at least "hoop " them)

When I picked up my Beetle Cat in West Dennis I made a return trip through New Bedford and then on to Mystic. I toured the Whaling Museum and it was very interesting. Definitely a worthwhile visit.
