I stumbled upon this cool photo this morning on the New Bedford Whaling Museum’s Flickr photostream. The model of the Lagoda has fueled a lot of young sailors dreams including mine many, many decades ago and my 5 year old son Luke’s currently. Check out The World’s Largest Ship Model for more.
The New Bedford Whaling Museum has posted a really great selection of photographs and copies of artwork on Flickr, many of which are available for purchase via their Window Back Gallery. (Copies of that it is!)
Hopefully this collection will whet your appetite because there is nothing better than seeing art up close and in person and climbing aboard the Lagoda and dreaming of going to sea.

Comment by Michael Lapides January 23, 2009 @ 4:24 amThanks for posting our Lagoda photo and our Flickr photostream link. In the Bourne building, right beside the Lagoda, the museum is undertaking a kayak restoration project as seen in this flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nbwm/sets/72157608084481816/
