Marvel at five massive whale skeletons, the world’s largest ship model (Lagoda), and America’s longest painting. Explore whale science and conservation, learn how Yankee whalers sailed the seven seas, enjoy works by internationally-known maritime artists, and have fun in the 3000 sq. ft kids’ Casa dos Botes Discovery Center.
