A quality cased American Whale Bark Model, with good age, circa 1900. The Ship JOHN CARVER was built in 1841 for Albert Carver of Searsport, Maine. The vessel weighed in at 298 Tons, and after 1870 ran primarily out of New Bedford in the Atlantic and Pacific Whaling Trades. At least one of the Bark's Log Books is in the collection of the NEw Bedford Whaling Museum, listing Master Jacob L. Howland in 1870.
