Our Heritage

“The harbor of New Bedford will last longer in the memory of the world than any other seaport in America.”

— Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

A Store as Old as the Stories

Moby Dick Nauticals has been a New Bedford landmark since 1947. Founded in the city that Melville's storied whaling district, we've spent nearly eight decades curating the finest maritime antiques, handcrafted gifts, and nautical collections from around the world.

From hand-cast diving helmets to hand-painted mermaid sculptures, every piece in our collection is chosen with the same care and reverence for the sea that has defined New Bedford since the days of the great whale ships. Stop in and explore — you never know what treasure you'll find at 27 William Street.
