About the Item

Made by George Grant of Nantucket (1857-1942). Grant, the son of whaling captain Charles Grant, was born in 1857 during a whaling voyage. His mother, Nancy Grant traveled with her husband and gave birth to all her children at ports in the Pacific during voyages. George Grant harpooned his first whale at age 16 and continued in the whaling business into his 30s. Later, as curator of the Whaling Museum, he was a wonderful source of information about Nantucket’s whaling past.
