Mystic CT - Mystic Seaport - These are barrels that were used to hold whale oil. In the first photo you can see how the barrels were broken down to save space aboard ship. When the whales were caught, the barrels were assembled by an on board cooper.

Almost all my life I have lived in New England, with two brief stints in Florida and Washington State. My wife and I have restored five 18th century homes so far as a hobby. We live with two dogs, Breeze and Maple, and our cats Hobie and Rudder.
