Nantucket Can Boast
Of Jewish Features

MOLLY AROST STAUB SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

N

antucket: a broad
street, paved with
worn cobblestones;
stately elm trees shad-
ing the shops lining it; gray
wood-shingled 18th-century
houses and mills; mansions
built by wealthy sea captains;

a museum that confirms the
island's 19th-century promi-
nence in whaling.
The town of Nantucket re-
tains the look of an early
American village developed
by English Protestants, and
that's what it is. Among the
art galleries and gift shop
proprietors, however, are sev-
eral Jews. Nantucket even
boasts a Jewish congregation
— a phenomenon that didn't
exist until 10 years ago; it's
added another dimension to
this vacation spot.
Nantucket has long been
known as the "Little Gray
Lady of the Sea," partially
because it's often shrounded
by fog. However, the name
also refers to many old build-
ings with silver-shingled
exteriors. About two dozen
tiny shingled cottages, origi-
nally inhabited • by sheep-
herders and fishermen, sit
among rambling roses in the
town of Siasconset (pro-
nounced Sconset).
In the main town of Nan-
tucket (it's the name of the
town, the county and the 7- by
15-mile island), other small,

gray-shingled shanties dating
only from 1968 line the Nan-
tucket Boat Basin. Many of
"The Shanties on the Wharf"
house galleries of artists such
as the Jewish sculptor Willi
Tobias.
Uphill stand restored
homes of wealthy 18th- and
19th-century sailing captains,
usually built of white clap-
board or red brick with roof-
top widows' walks. Restric-
tions dictate the accuracy of
the exteriors, so the entire
town appears like it's still
part of a bygone era.
To see how the interiors
once looked, visit the Hadwen
House, dating from 1845. It
features Italian marble fire-
places and Regency and
Empire furnishings. The
Whaling Museum, housed in
an 1846-spermaceti candle
factory, offers insights into
this exciting era with whal-
ing harpoons, a whale boat
and a re-created shipsmith
shop.
The sea which lured many
so long ago is still a primary
attraction, but today's ar-
rivals are also lured by the
numerous beaches and boat-
ing and fishing opportunities.
They're also enticed by the
charming inns, many in his-
toric buildings, such as the
1845-Jared Coffin House; fea-
tures include tole chandeliers
styled like early whale-oil
