Inside the Seamen
Photographer: Bill Coughlin
Taken: August 23, 2017
Caption: Inside the Seamen's Bethel
Additional Description: Note the pulpit in the shape of a boat. The Bethel's pulpit did not originally look like this. It was changed in response to the grumbling of visitors who expected it to resemble the description that appeared in Herman Melville's book "Moby Dick". Melville attended services in this Bethel.
