Description
Spermaceti is a substance derived from whales that was once used to make candles. This converted 1846 candle factory is now home to Nantucket's whaling history -- an excursion not to be missed. It features a tremendous collection of artifacts including the skeleton of a 43-foot finback whale, the 16-foot glass prism from Sankaty Head Lighthouse, portraits of sea captains, and a large scrimshaw collection. Call for tour times and off-season hours. Check out the gift shop next door.
