About this Event

Herman Melville said this city was perhaps the dearest place to live in, in all of New England. On this tour you will explore the streets that inspired Melville's tale, showcasing the city's nineteenth-century architecture and the landmarks that played a crucial role in both the whaling industry and Melville's masterpiece. Go at your own pace, anytime. The tour is location aware and plays as you walk guiding you step by step through the streets. Stop anytime, and listen again later anytime.
