Web Moving & Storage, wheel a painting by Charles Sidney Raleigh, of three whaleships from New Bedford, past the whale tale sculpture in front of the Whaling Museum on N Water Street in New Bedford, as they take it from the Waddle Gallery to conservation storage in another part of the museum.  This painting along with a series of other paintings of whale ships date to the late 1800's and were part of a panorama which told the journey of the whale ship Niger (ship on right of painting) before it was cut into pieces in 1958.
