I'd never given Widow's Walks much thought, but now I am curious. Thanks!

You won't be able to unsee them now. Sorry. You should write a romance about a sea captain!

I instantly put the baked beans on my Pinterest board! I recommend the Whale Museum in Friday Harbor, although mostly focused on whales than ships, but it's fascinating!

I've been to the Whale Museum in Friday Harbor. It was good, but there's something about the Atlantic whaling stories that attract me more than the Pacific.

Oooh I liked the Vanishing Half! Also Single White Female, back in the day, but that was the last time I watched it - back in the day.

I'm trying to think of maritime books I have read and the only thing I can think about is The Light Between Two Oceans, about an isolated lighthouse. It was really good (it's been a while though). I've never read anything about whaling, but I've read about sea passages - Alias Grace is coming to mind.

I have never read Moby Dick and I never will read Moby Dick, but maybe I'll give the other book a try.

I read The Light Between Two Oceans and remember liking it. Lighthouses are a subset of my maritime/whaling obsession.
