This historic house in New Bedford, Massachusetts, once the premiere whaling city in New England,
opens a new exhibit on William Rotch, Jr., the home's first owner. Rotch and his
family amassed tremendous wealth and influence from their whaling ventures and
whaling-related industries. The exhibit examines their innovative business strategies,
the importance of their Quaker faith, and their influence on the community. Evocative
artwork, artifacts and first-person accounts enliven the story of this remarkable man
and his family.
