Abstract
The Voices of Marine Mammals—William E. Schevill and William A. Watkins: Pioneers in Bioacoustics Brophy Christina New Bedford Whaling Museum, New Bedford, Massachusetts, 2019. 126 pp. ISBN 0997516178
One of the fond memories of my youth was a stop, en route to Cape Cod for a week's family vacation, at the New Bedford Whaling Museum. Back then, almost six decades ago (?!), the story I gleaned from the exhibits was that of an adventurous, exotic marine industry of yesteryear that helped make the Northeast an economic power. For one reason or another (“busy” being a good excuse), I never returned there again, despite working only 40 or so miles away at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Eventually, the New Bedford Whaling Museum faded into being just another pleasant boyhood memory for me.
