Beyond the Book @ the Whaling Museum

The library co-sponsors this unique discussion group. This month's selection is Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky. Let's explore the history of the Atlantic cod fishery and the people who have gone to incredible lengths to hunt this fish.  From Medieval Basque fisherfolk to the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony and beyond, discover how the search for cod led Europeans further and further into the Atlantic, ultimately fueling explorations which would span the globe.

Print copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk. The title is also in our digital collection.

The discussion will be held at the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum, 279 Main Street.
