Ships Logs Collection

The original whaling ships logs are in the collection of the Falmouth Museums on the Green, the home of the Falmouth Historical Society. The logs were scanned and transcribed to make them available to researchers and others who are interested in Falmouth’s part in the whaling industry. Thank you to the volunteers who put in many hours reading and transcribing the hand written logs.
