Tour the locations that likely inspired Herman Melville to capture New Bedford in Chapters 2-13 of Moby Dick. Visit the Seamen’s Bethel, “the Whaleman’s Chapel” in Melville’s novel. See the Rodman House, which exemplifies the “opulent” and “patrician like houses,” which Melville noted characterized New Bedford.
