Seamen's Bethel

Located in the Historic District at Johnny Cake Hill, this chapel was dedicated in 1832 as a non-denominational whalemen's chapel. The building features a ship's bow pulpit and the Old Salt Box meeting room. In the novel "Moby Dick," Herman Mellville described its cenotaphs - the stone tablets inscribed with the names of whalemen lost at sea since the 1840s.
