For more than a century, Nantucket Island was the oil capital of the world. The Nantucket whalers took whale ships to the farthest reaches of the earth. As a result, Nantucket is left with a rich maritime history which is reflected in many of the arts and crafts that are carried today at Nantucket Looms. With the movie adaption of Nathaniel Philbrick’s award winning book “In the Heart of the Sea” we have curated a collection of merchandise inspired by this haunting story.
