Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
In 1850, fourteen year old, Sarah Owen Burgess, daughter of a Nantucket whaling ship captain, took pen in hand to begin a personal journal. What resulted was a history of Nantucket and Nantucketers at the end of an historical period as her beloved island slipped into hard times. When the railroad came to the mainland, making shipment of whale oil and oil products more efficient, New Bedford usurped Nantucket's prosperity leaving the island down on its luck and insecure about the future and Sarah recorded it all. Her inspiration for her role as a woman in a time when women's roles were few were the suffragette and abolitionist, Lucretia Mott and astronomer, Maria Mitchell, also daughters of Nantucket. High sea adventure, exotic ports, romance and, above all, a close-up look at Nantucket history.
