View of a Fishing Town

This is a view from the third floor of the New Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusetts. On the balcony, there is an artwork depicting a school of fish swimming downstream. Just over the balcony is the Town of New Bedford, known for a long history of seafaring, to provide whale oil for lamps, back in the day. New Bedford also is featured in Herman Melville's classic, "Moby Dick".
