As you can see the New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park was established in 1996

The park encompasses 34 acres spread over 13 city blocks and includes the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Seamen's Bethel, the schooner Ernestina, and the Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum.

The park commemorates the heritage of the world's preeminent whaling port during the nineteenth century.

The Park is rather unusual in that the only properties owned by the National Park Service are the Visitor Center and the Corson Maritime Learning Center. The park is a historic district administered under a partnership between the NPS, the City of New Bedford and private building owners to preserve the historic landscapes, structures, and collections and promote research and educational programming associated with the history of whaling.
So most of these shots are I believe within the area of the park.

Next up we have the National Club Sign, apparently it used to be a popular bar for fisherman, I read online a few years ago it was bought by a restaurant group but the sign is still there
