What makes Nantucket special and memorable to visitors and residents alike? Is it the compass rose mural painted on the side of the current Ralph Lauren building, noting distances to world cities? Is it the sperm whale skeleton hanging in Nantucket Whaling Museum? Maybe the iron fountain-urn in Main Street or the pump in the 'Sconset Square. For some it might be Altar Rock, or the African Meeting House, or the Maria Mitchell Observatory. Through counting to 100, this book embraces those objects and more by signifying the unique culture and history of Nantucket.
