Come along with us on a whale watch in celebration of PEM’s two exhibitions about whales: Draw Me Ishmael: The Book Arts of Moby Dick and Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend.
Join 7 Seas Whale Watch on their first boat trip of the season! April is a particularly active month for spotting whales, so bring your binoculars and your spirit of adventure as we journey out to sea with the expert crew and a seasoned naturalist. You’ll be joined by PEM’s Dan Lipcan, Curator of Draw Me Ishmael, Jane Winchell, Curator of Narwhal, and Jim McCoy, Essex County Ornithological Club president and seabird expert. We’ll bring along tales and fun props from both exhibitions and help you identify whales and seabirds!
