| Nantucket is located 30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. A booming whaling island in
the 17th and 18th century, it was once the third largest city in Massachusetts, with a
population of 10,000 people. Today, the island is home to approximately 9,000 year-round
residents. This small island is roughly 4 miles long by 14 miles wide and boats 84 miles of
shoreline. Because of the traditional grey-shingled houses and the frequent fog, Nantucket is
often referred to as the "Little Grey Lady of the Sea". The sea breeze is strong and the
boasts are plenty. Nantucket remains home to the Allserve General Store where Tom and Tom
began their juice adventure. |
