Dear Kristen:
I am not aware of any site on the Net containing the kind of information
you are looking for. Furthermore, I have researched my own library and
I can't find any reference to families travelling with whalers. As far
as I know whaling ships sailed only with their crews on board (always
men).
Best wishes,
