Descendants
of Whaling Masters, Inc., is an association whose membership consists of
over 450 members throughout the United States and the world who treasure their
whaling history connections. The purpose of the organization is to perpetuate
the history and tradition of the whaling era. The whaling industry is a slice of
Americana that will go unrecognized unless organizations such as the
Descendants of Whaling Masters take steps to educate today's public about
this awe-inspiring and at times tumultuous period of early life in America.
The Descendants of Whaling Masters are committed to preserving this
important legacy so that the fascinating story of whaling will not be lost
to future generations.
The organization has always shared a close
working relationship with the New
Bedford Whaling Museum, which is "home" to DWM's various meetings
and many of its events. In the tradition of the organization DWM hosts an
annual luncheon meeting in June that continues to grow and attract members
from all over the country. The organization is proud that its membership, like
whaling, is multi-cultural and international in scope. DWM is an
all-volunteer, private Massachusetts 501 (c) (3) non-profit
corporation.
