| | NANTUCKET - LoveToKnow Article on NANTUCKET |
| | In 1712 a Nantucket whaler, Christopher Hussey, blown out to sea, killed some sperm whales and thus introduced the sperm-oil industry and put an end to the period in which only drift- and shore- or boat-whaling had been carried on the shore fishery died out about 1760. | | | The original twenty proprietors, however, endeavoured to exclude the tradesmen from any voice in the government, and this caused strife. | | | In 1775 the Nantucket fleet numbered 150, and the population was between 5000 and 6000, about 90% being Quakers; but by 1785 the fleet had been shattered, 134 ships being destroyed or captured during the war. |
