This book was released on 2003 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With photography, line drawings, and stories, this book captures the architectural history of Nantucket Island, on the East Coast. From its days when the Quakers gained a stronghold on the island, distinguishing their homes with an aesthetic of simplicity and superb craftsmanship, Nantucket has been shaped by the character and tradition of those who have designed and inhabited the tiny island. Today, Nantucket's significant cache of historic buildings - from simple lean-to houses to Federal-style mansions to clapboard Victorian summer cottages - are the subject of a preservation movement that serves to protect the island's rich cultural tradition for generations to come." "The book draws upon primary sources, diaries, oral histories, and archived photographs to examine the rich architectural heritage of this designated national treasure. Sea Captains' Houses is a study of the homes that have come to characterize this culturally rich island, making this book appealing to not only Nantucket homeowners but also visitors to the island and all those who admire America's architectural heritage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: This volume details Nantucket's long history from European settlement in 1659 to whaling culture and Quaker influence to tourist destination. Nantucket, a Wampanoag word meaning far-away island, was first settled by Europeans in 1659. The earliest settlers, known as the Proprietors, envisioned a community of farmers and shepherds, but the island found its fortune as a preeminent whaling port in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. During its time under Quaker influence, Nantucket was a cosmopolitan and dynamic place; radical new ideas, like abolitionism and women's rights, found fertile ground in the Quakers' firm belief in equality. As the entrance to the harbor became impassable, Nantucket lost its whaling focus and experienced a general economic decline. Ironically, this downturn and the resulting absence of new building, along with modern cultural change, became the springboard for its later revival. Nantucket was transformed into a tourist destination, an artist colony, and a summer home to the wealthy and famous, with a rich maritime heritage and a proud tradition of historic preservation.
