Kathy -

You may want to contact locations in New Bedford, MA which was considered the
whaling capitol of the world and only a short distance north of Mystic. Each
has copious amounts of records on the whalers. The New Bedford Free Public
Library is located on Williams and Pleasant Sts; the Dartmouth Historical
Society and the Whaling Museum are each located on Johnny Cake Hill. All are
in New Bedford and the zip code is 02740.

<< Would any one know if there are any whaling ship records? and if so,
where they could be found? I have an ancestor, Austin BROWN that was
on the ship Hannibal in 1850 in New London.
