These are my 3 Photos from our Road trip and Boat Trip to Nantucket Island.
This is a great place to visit if you love beautiful white sand beaches, swimming in warm ocean waters, delicious seafood, old cobblestone streets, fishing tales, classic wooden boats, cherry blossoms, boxwood, and bike rides through fields of bayberry ...
This is from near the harbour in the evening where we had some Lobster for dinner.
This is another view from one of the many little Marina inlets where residents dock their boats.
This is Queegueg where we had breakfast .... do you remember Queequeg from Moby Dick ?
Queequeg is a fictional character in the 1851 novel Moby-Dick by American author Herman Melville. The son of a South Sea chieftain who left home to explore the world, Queequeg is the first principal character encountered by the narrator, Ishmael.
Appears in book: Moby Dick or The Whale
Created by: Herman Melville
The amiable Polynesian harpooner contributes significantly to the themes of friendship and diversity in the novel. Although Queequeg is a heathen, by Christian definition, Ishmael increasingly notices the man's independent dignity, good heart, extraordinary courage, and generous spirit. Queequeg's body is covered with tattoos, and Ishmael initially assumes that the aborigine must be a cannibal. He soon learns that his new friend is one of the most civilized men that he has ever met. As Ishmael concludes, "You cannot hide the soul" (Chapter 10). Source: https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/m/mobydick/character-analysis/queequeg
You should definitely read Moby Dick before you visit Nantucket.
Nantucket History: Literature, Whaling. Herman Melville
Herman Melville wrote his classic novel Moby-Dick (1851) without having visited the island of Nantucket. The island and its whaling history form the backbone of his novel, and indeed are central symbols in the epic journey of the Pequod in its hunt for Moby-Dick, the white whale. Melville based the essentials of his plot, and the final climactic ramming of the Pequod, upon all that he had read about Nantucket’s whaling industry, and in particular, the gruesome tale of the Nantucket whaleship Essex. After the publication of Moby-Dick, Melville finally visited the island, and met face-to-face with Captain George Pollard Jr., the captain who survived one of the most harrowing ordeals at sea in human history.
