Whaling in Arts and Literature

Hey there big wide world of bloggers, Michelle here!

Many of you may not know that whaling was highly influenced through the power of public viewing through paintings and novels. We have all heard of Moby Dick but have you heard of other novel such as Whale Nation, In the Heart of the Sea, Whales a Celebration and more? There were also many paintings made during the time of whaling and some even made today! These works created the world that people back home not aboard whaling ships came to know as the world of whaling. All that they knew about what was going on out at sea came from these stories. If your interested in learning more about specific novels or paintings check out my Instagram account made for this project: http://instagram.com/whales_for_all! :)
