Memorials	:	2
Location	:	New Bedford, Bristol County, USA
Coordinate	:	41.6350630, -70.9236090
Description	:	The Seamen's Bethel, built ca. 1831 is a house of prayer and standing memorial to those New Bedford whalemen and fishermen who have lost their lives at sea. On the walls of the bethel hang black-framed cenotaphs which bear the names of whalemen and fishermen who were lost while at sea. In the main chapel is a bow-shaped pulpit, such as described in Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick," and shown in John Hustons classic movie of the same name. Although no such pulpit existed in Melville's time, this one was built in the chapel in 1961 to satisfy public expectations.
