New Trade Winds
www.newtradewinds.org

New Trade WindsDeveloped by the Bishop Museum, the Alaska Native Heritage Center, and the Peabody Essex Museum, the New Trade Winds Project partners the geographically and culturally distinct, yet historically linked communities of Anchorage, Hawai`i, and Salem.  For these historic trading partners, the trade winds were a vital source, filling the sails of the ships of commerce and exchange. Today, the Internet and other technologies are the new vehicles to propel us into the 21st century.

An extension of the New Trade Winds project, Living Artists is an online gallery that celebrates both innovative and traditionally-based art styles and media of the artists in these regions today.

On-line visitors can read the sea journals of the whaling crews as well as the letters written to them by family members left behind, view vintage film footage of early 20th century whaling voyages, examine allegorical and historic paintings and objects depicting whaling scenes, and visit whale ships and the below-deck spaces through 360 degree virtual tours.
