Nantucket Vacation: Day 7
Belated post…
Day 7. Mostly just the trip back home. Took a lot of photos at the docks for the ferry, on the ferry leaving Nantucket, and approaching the mainland. Enjoy.

Belated post…
As I was going over the photos from these days, we had a big power outage. Supposedly over 200 homes had no electricity. Power went out around 10:45pm and came back on sometime after 1:ooam! Sadly, my laptop was not fully charged…
Anyway, below are some photos taken in the Nantucket Whaling Museum, the observatory floor of the museum, the “children’s beach” where there is a small lighthouse, and some plants around the house. Also, there was this really weird full moon one night. It was bright orange!
Check out the photos below:
- Sperm Whale Skull
- An Oil Press
- Top of a Lighthouse
- Plaque about an old clock tower.
- The mechanicals of the clock.
