"CSU, Stanislaus, to host exhibit on whaling, Azoreans" Bee Staff Reports California State University, Stanislaus, will host a traveling exhibit on whaling and Azorean immigration to America through March 1 on the second floor foyer of the Vasché Library. Yankee whalers from New England made the Azores a port of call where they would load supplies and add crew members. This contact taught Azoreans how to hunt for whales and led to Azoreans choosing New England and later California as a place in which to emigrate. The Center for Portuguese Studies will host the exhibit from the New Bedford Whaling Museum. The exhibit will be open for viewing from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, contact Elmano Costa, directorof the Center for Portuguese Studies, at (209) 667-3638 or visit www.csustan.edu/CHSS/centerportuguesestudies. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
