Nantucket Lighthouses
Why not pay a visit to a Nantucket lighthouse? There are 3 to choose from; don't forget your camera. You can easily drive or bike to Brant Point Light or Sankaty Head, but the trip out to Great Point Light requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Better yet, join a guided eco-tour and climb to the top of the 70' tower.

Hurricane Irene heads out to sea and calmer weather returns. The airport is back in business and the ferries are running again. We're still stuck on the island, however, because our ferry reservation is no longer valid. Now on "standby", as the Steamship Authority calls it, we are forced to wait and wait and wait.

In the Heart of the Sea
In the earlier half of the nineteenth century, the island of Nantucket was one of the whaling capitals of the world. The great sperm whales of the Pacific had long been the lifeblood of the close-knit Quaker community that was Nantucket. The whaleship <I>Essex</I>, which left Nantucket in 1819, was just one of many similar ships that left the island each year. But the disaster that struck the <I>Essex</I> fifteen months after it left its home port was anything but ordinary. The 238-ton <I>Essex</I> was destroyed by a whale.

Shirley Jackson's The Lottery and The Hidden Holocaust
Published in 1949, Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" is a modern Gothic set in what can arguably be a post-apocalyptic milieu. And as great fiction often does, this story mirrors reality in the form of a ritual enacted in modern Nantucket that is as dark and barbaric as that set in Jackson's fictitious village. And clams everywhere suffer for it.
