Sailors' Valentines and Serpent Stories
After whaling, when free time was available, the sailors would relax while creating beautiful pieces of art for their loved ones far away at home. We will learn some of the myths and yarns that the sailors spun aboard their ships and discuss whaling and the Maria Mitchell family's role in whaling all while creating our own scrimshaw and sailors' valentines.
