Located 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, the island of Nantucket pivoted to a tourist destination in the early to mid-20th century. Former whaling captains' mansions on Main Street were restored with historical accuracy. Small businesses and art galleries started to occupy the cobblestoned streets of the downtown area and take residence in the restored fishermen shacks on the wharf. From the rose-covered cottages in the village of 'Sconset to the three lighthouses still protecting its shores, picturesque and charming Nantucket remains frozen in time and captivates all who visit. This book presents Nantucket slides taken during the classic era of Kodachrome color photographs, from the 1930s to the 1980s. Robert Jordan first vacationed on Nantucket Island in the summer of 1969. He returns annually and has documented mid-century life on the island via his collection of Kodachrome color slides.
