5.0 out of 5 stars A highly informative book on whalers and their art., August 28, 1999

By A Customer

A fascinating insight into the scrimshaw contained at the Mystic Seaport Museum. Filled with the history of scrimshaw and whaling, the book takes you on an in-depth tour of the collection. Features include scrimshawed whale's teeth, functional items such as fids, boxes, crimpers, and swifts, plus a feature on collecting scrimshaw today. The mainly black and white illustrations show great details on the objects. An excellent addition to any collector's library.
