That was great. I’ve been to the museum many years ago and loved it. Brought my in-laws several years ago and will visit again. This gentleman did and awesome job.
The tryworks on board had to be made fire resistant. The twin try pots were mounted into brick and mortar oven firebox. Under the brick firebox was a shallow tank of water to insulate the heat from fire burning the deck planks. This pool of water was known as a "duck pen". When whaling ships came back to port the the tryworks were completely dismantled brick by brick and all burned whale oil and blubber residue cleaned and bricks were mortared back together. The iron trypots were flat on one side to help transfer heat evenly, reducing space and to make easy to tip over for cleaning and emptying. Firewood initially was used to stoke tryworks then the cooked out "Bible leaves" known as "cracklings" as fuel. In the ships hold the oil barrels were generally dismantled to reduce cargo space and as a barrel was needed a cooper was employed to assemble the barrel and on working deck next to tryworks a riveted metal tank connected to a hose pipe below deck to funnel the rendered oil down below to fill barrels.
I grew up on the island. You used to be able to buy a sperm whale tooth and scrimshaw kit in the Seven Seas giftshop at Broadstreet and Center. There are also remnants of the 'camels' they used to float ships over the bar in the 1800s. They're buried in the sands out at Madaket, Eel point and Tuckernuck. There's a good chance of finding sperm whale teeth in the yard of a whaling captain's house such as I did as a young boy in '66. Oh, and if you go down main street to Washington and Main there is a storm drain in the cobblestones. On a hot day you can still smell whale oil that soaked in the soil. Possibly during the Great Fire of 1846.
Your old painting shows a flag trailing behind the ship...since the WIND is pushing the sails forward...how can the flag do this ?? The painter must have NEVER seen a sailing ship !!

Awesome! Thank you!
I am of the family of Tristram Coffin and my family was involved in whaling in Nantucket.

Because of marine mammal protection act ambergris in perfume is technically illigal in US but not in France etc.
