Introducing Nantucket
Once homeport to the world’s largest whaling fleet, Nantucket’s storied past is reflected in its period homes and cobbled streets. When whaling went bust in the mid-19th century the town plunged from riches to rags. The population dwindled, and its grand old houses sat idle until wealthy Bostonians and New Yorkers discovered that Nantucket made a fine place to spend the summer. High-end tourism has been Nantucket’s mainstay ever since. Nantucket Visitors Services & Information Bureau (508-228-0925; www.nantucketchamber.org; 25 Federal St; 9am-6pm) has brochures and bus schedules.
