As part of the New Bedford Port Society’s Sanctuary of Stories, historian, author, and board member Timothy Walker shares why the Seamen’s Bethel and Mariners’ Home remain such important places of remembrance, reflection, and maritime heritage.
For generations, these historic spaces have preserved the stories of those who lived and worked at sea — stories that continue to shape the identity of New Bedford today.
Join us in helping preserve this Sanctuary of Stories for future generations.
