Whaling Heritage Symposium, 16-18 June 2008 NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries Maritime Heritage Program and National Marine Fisheries Service, along with the National Maritime Historical Society, is sponsoring a three-day event, hosted by Mystic Seaport, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and the New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park. The pursuit of whales, which involved ocean exploration, culrural contacts, and even an emerging conservation awareness, is an epic story of global dimensions. The Whaling Heritage Symposium will examine the links between the history and the science of whales and whaling heritage.

1he symposium will be organized along selected themes and will feature cultural practitioners, authors, archaeologists, historians, curators, marine resource managers and others-noted specialists associated within each of the selected fields. The event will offer the public and professional alike the opportunity to examine the broader cultural scope of historic whaling, the significance of specific events and geographic locations in the industry's history, and the ways we can continue to learn from our own whaling heritage. The schedule includes plenary presentations, speaker panel sessions, public talks, tours, dinners and receptions. There will be a registration fee of $175. The event will also offer visitors one of their last chances to go on board the Charles W Morgan before the historic ship, the world's oldest whaling vessel, is placed in dry dock in November.
