Whaling Museum
13 Broad St, Nantucket, MATel: (508) 228-1894 • Web: Visit this site »
Spermaceti is a substance derived from whales that was once used to make candles. This converted 1846 candle factory is now home to Nantucket's whaling history - and excursion not to be missed. It features a tremendous collection of artifacts including the skeleton of a 43-foot finback whale, the 16-foot glass prism from Sankaty Head Lighthouse, portraits of sea captains, and a large scrimshaw collection. Call for tour times and off-season hours. Check out the gift shop next door. Editor's Note: The Whaling Museum is closed for renovation until June 4, 2005
