A "Readaway" in Nantucket's Off-Season | Condé Nast Traveler

"A two-minute walk from my rental, the Whaling Museum was a positively nerdy treasure trove—filled with engraved sperm whale teeth, lightship baskets so valuable they felt shocking, and stories of the ill-fated Essex that inspired Moby Dick—which ultimately gave me a greater understanding of what makes the island feel like a faraway place." - Jessica Sulima
