The chapel with its cladding had a special importance for the sailors and became a symbol of the whaling industry
This chapel with white wooden cladding was built in 1832. Herman Melville mentioned it in his novel Moby Dick (1851) as Whaleman's Chapel. From then on, it took on a special significance for sailors and became a symbol of the whaling industry. The building, part of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, is accessible to visitors. On its walls are inscribed the names of local sailors and whalers. You can also see the bench on which Melville sat in 1840.
