The casual Humpback Whale Embossed Leather Belt is bench crafted and handmade by New England Leathersmith Jeff Taylor exclusively from Cellar Leather on Cape Cod. The waters of Massachusetts contain several premium feeding grounds for whales, including about 25 miles off the coast of Boston. North of Boston in the waters off Gloucester are Stellwagen Bank and Jeffreys Ledge, two main feeding grounds and common destinations for whale watching trips. Stellwagen Bank is a marine protected area at the mouth of Massachusetts Bay. Jeffreys Ledge extends from the coast of Rockport to Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Cape Cod and the Islands also have many whale sightings each year. Whales have been spotted about 20 miles offshore of Nantucket. http://coastalstudies.org/humpback-whale-research/
