Description
Martha's Vineyard, like Nantucket, developed a booming whaling industry in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Between them, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard owned one quarter of America's whaling fleet just before the Revolution. By the 1800s, more than 100 Edgartown men were captains of whaling ships. The magnificent houses built for these captains are still among the most beautiful in New England.
