The Carthaginian II is a floating museum dedicated to
whaling and to whales. The steel hull ship was brought to
Lahaina from Denmark to replicate the original Carthaginian
that was lost at sea. The museum contains an original whaling
boat found in Alaska, as well as a multitude of artifacts
related to the whaling industry that thrived in and around
Lahaina during the "golden era of whaling".
Excellent audio-video displays tell the
whaling story. Below deck you can hear the singing of humpback
whales.
