Our journey continues with Moby Dick! Chapters 17-24
I thought it would be fun to attempt the Nantucket accent/dialect. Apparently, I sounded like Kevin Costner in Robin Hood... Epic fail... Learn a little about the Ocracoke Brogue which is the closest existing dialect in the United States today to what Nantucketers sounded like.

Let's explore Nantucket's tenacity and drive to survive at sea from being a failed farming community to the whaling capitol of the world to being abandoned and reviving as a vacation destination. Nantucket has contributed more to history than whaling. Learn about how Nantucket influenced women's rights, the abolitionist movement, astronomy, and more!
