The whaling bark Progress was a New Bedford ship transformed into a
whaling museum for Chicago's 1893 world's fair. Traversing
waterways across North America, the whaleship enthralled crowds
from Montreal to Racine. Her ultimate fate, however, was to be a
failed sideshow of marine curiosities and a metaphor for a dying
industry out of step with Gilded Age America. This book uses the
story of the Progress to detail the rise, fall, and eventual demise
of the whaling industry in America. The legacy of this whaling bark
can be found throughout New England and Chicago, and invites
questions about what it means to transform a dying industry into a
museum piece.
