The only thing I really need to say about this parish is that their parishioners are incredible. Everyone we ran in to was incredibly polite and welcomed us. Although we are Catholic, we could see ourselves attending a mass here.

This church is super awesome!! It is small and there's not much to see, but it provided the…read moresetting for the preacher's Jonah and the Whale sermon in "Moby Dick." Upon entering, make your donation please (seriously, they don't charge admission which is awesome) and take the information about the church. It's comprehensive and explains everything you're looking at in the first and second floor sanctuaries. I love old churches so this was a very fun experience. I think it's great that they still hold services here. Upstairs there is a plaque letting you know exactly where Herman Melville sat when he attended services here while writing "Moby Dick" and a lot of tributary "gravestones" for men lost at sea over the past two centuries. The best part of the upper sanctuary is the boat podium. Shaped like the front of the ship, the pastor gets in there and gives his sermon - a true whaling church for sure! This was my favorite part of the entire museum because it was never there until the movie version of "Moby Dick" came out in the 50s. Filmed in Ireland, the director decided to put this podium in the movie to add to the "whale-ness" of the church. However, people started visiting Seamen's Bethel to see the ship podium and it wasn't there! The church decided to add it to be true to the movie and it was obviously a big success. I don't know why, but I think that's a really awesomely fun story. Get yourself in here to experience what Herman Melville saw and heard while he was writing "Moby Dick." It's a great place to go to see where the actual crews of ships come before they set out to work.
