Book excerpt: This dictionary is certain to have a major and lasting impact on both the study and the collecting of scrimshaw, that ever-popular folk art of whalemen. In his ground-breaking work, Dr. Frank, Director of the Kendall Whaling Museum, has cataloged every known and recorded scrimshaw artist active through the early twentieth century. His persistent search has unearthed an immense amount of significant, often fascinating, information on these little-known artisans. This book is indispensable to the collector, curator, and scholar of maritime and folk art. The North American Society for Oceanic History named A Dictionary of Scrimshaw Artists the best maritime reference book published in 1992.
