» Dantessa - Re: Fascination with Nantucket

Thank you, Tom! That's very kind of you and I appreciate it.

Nantucket definitely does have literary allure. Are you familiar with the whaleship Essex (of Nantucket)? Its story is the real life inspiration for Moby Dick. I was fortunate enough to be in Nantucket when the latest greatest book about the Essex hit the shelves, and they had a truly haunting and tastefully done display in the Nantucket museum, all about the Essex and how it inspired Moby Dick.

So that's a bit of literary history right there! smile
