All Hands: Yankee Whaling and the U.S. Navy offers a new interpretation of an important theme in American maritime history: the intersections between U.S. whaling and the U.S. Navy. From South America to the Indian Ocean, across the Pacific and into the waters of Siberia and Alaska, these two sea services together helped establish a core American maritime cultural identity around the world.
This 84-page softcover exhibition catalogue showcases an array of fascinating artifacts and personal biographies and includes essays by Curator of Maritime History, Michael P. Dyer, nautical rare book dealer, Greg Gibson, scholar Mary K. Bercaw Edwards, Ph.D., scholar Robert D. Madison, Ph. D., and Naval curator Gordon Calhoun.
