 So JFK was a lover of scrimshaw and a collector of scrimshaw. And the sort of mania for the Kennedys meant that other people became really interested in scrimshaw and kind of maritime material culture. Scrimshaw became part of a preppy coastal aesthetic recognized across America. So it feels a bit subversive when you see the latest piece that Slip put on display in the Whaling Museum's scrimshaw gallery. It's a plastic bottle of engine coolant, painted and waxed to look like bone.
