- Nantucket was the world capital of whaling.
- Small lanes, Quaker architecture, 19th century.
- Nantucket, Indian word "that faraway island".

- Unless it is absolutely necessary, please do not bring your car to Nantucket - you can
walk to most everything - how delightful. Both boat lines carry bicycles, or rent
one on the island, or just sit and relax. A day trip is a must for the whole
family. Bring your bike, camera, knapsack of goodies, binoculars, old sneaks and
sealegs - a great getaway!
