New Bedford (MA-USA) Whalers on glass plate negatives

[Roboticspro]

I was able to pick these up at an art auction recently. I digitized them as I plan on donating them to a local maritime museum. Looks like mid to late 1800's from the clothing. Those wooden barrels would have contained the whale oil for processing; glad those days are over for most of the world, but not all....
