New Bedford seeks artists for Herman Melville statue

Last week marked 183 years since a young Herman Melville set sail from New Bedford aboard the Acushnet on a working voyage that later inspired his magnum opus, "Moby Dick". The city is now asking artists to submit designs for a statue to honor the author and his legacy.
