Ohhh this museum has a special place in my heart. It’s so well set up, and explains every aspect of whaling history so so well for locals and tourists. The set up was easy to follow during COVID and they had sanitizing stations almost at every corner. It was both impeccable and also interesting. Lots of cool stories, facts and set ups. And don’t forget the rooftop to lookout over Nantucket!
Great whaling museum (also sad when you see how many whales were killed).nDon’t forget to go up the roof for a nice view of the harbour.nInteresting fact: the skeleton of the whale hanging from the ceiling is from a whale which died because infection from one rotten tooth (you can see that one tooth is missing).
Beautiful, interesting, engaging! Enthusiastic Executive Director, marvelous staff! (The Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum, by contrast, was a MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT-too bad that the Whaling Museum’s people don’t take it over and throw the Basket Museum’s Board of Directors out on their keisters!).
Super cool to walk through. While the process is extremely graphic and outlawed it is having to learn about this old profession and how it was performed 200 years ago
The last known remaining whale oil press, beautifully preserved and documented. Highly recommended.
