History of Nantucket, Massachusetts:

Nantucket Was Part Of Dukes County, New York Until 1691, When It Was Transferred To Massachusetts And Made Its Own County.

Referring To Nantucket's Dominance Of The Early Whaling Industry, Herman Melville Says In Moby Dick, Chapter 14: "...two Thirds Of This Terraqueous Globe Are The Nantucketer's. For The Sea Is His; He Owns It, As Emperors Own Empires; Other Seamen Having But A Right Of Way Through It."

Along With The Island Of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket Voted In 1977 To Secede From The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts. The Secession Movement Was Sparked By A Proposed Change To The Massachusetts Constitution, Which Would Cut Eighty Members From The 240-strong State House Of Representatives, Reducing The Islands' Representation. Needless To Say, The Movement Was Not Carried To Fruition, As The Islands Remain A Part Of Massachusetts.

45 Miles South Of Nantucket On July 25, 1956, The Italian Ocean Liner SS Andrea Doria Sank After Colliding With The SS Stockholm In Heavy Fog. 51 Were Killed In The Crash But None Lost Their Lives In The Sinking.

On October 31, 1999, EgyptAir Flight 990 Traveling From New York City To Cairo Crashed Off The Coast Of Nantucket, Killing All 217 On Board.
