Whaling Coast

New Bedford to Nantucket to Gloucester — the industry that built and haunted coastal Massachusetts

Everything New Bedford became, it became because of the water at the end of the street. Five stops over 188.9 miles, about seven hours of driving. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

New Bedford has five MassRoam tours and no two cover the same ground. It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
