More information on Carthaginian II

The town of Lahaina was a prominent port for Pacific Ocean whaling for 50 years. This unique floating museum, which is actually a 90-foot replica of a square-rigged 19th-century merchant ship, contains historical artifacts and details about whaling in Lahaina. Featured exhibits include recordings of whale songs and an original Alaskan whaling boat. Films about whaling and humpbacks are presented throughout the day. This is a fun outing for anyone interested in marine history.
