This Whale was created as part of the “Whale Trail” project of Cape Cod in 2001.  The Buzzards Bay Village Association under the direction of Fundraiser D. Flynn joined a group of 55 others to sport light non-profits on Cape Cod.  This Whale was developed in a scrimshaw fashion to speak to the historic maritime past in Bourne.  There were 12 maritime families in Bourne very instrumental in the growth of this town, with the nautical flags of each family shown on the whale.  The New World’s first location of trade, the Aptucxet Trading Post is incorporated on the whale with the Joseph Jefferson Wind Mill, lighthouses, sea life and much more. Ernie Ford and daughter Danielle  created this masterpiece.
