The cold hard steel of the harpoon's point Struck deep into its side. We played out line and backed the oars And took the cruel sleighride. The term "Nantucket Sleighride" was coined by the whalers to explain what happened after they harpooned a whale. (Nantucket Island was considered the whaling capital of the world during the 19th century.) The first strike of the harpoon was not intended to kill the whale but only to attach it to the whale boat. The whale would take off pulling the whale boat along at speeds of up to 23 mph (37 kmh). The whale would eventually tire itself out, the leading officer in the boat would then use a penetrating lance to kill the whale. Nantucket Sleighride is Dedicated to Owen Coffin who was cabin boy aboard the whaler Essex, which was destroyed by a sperm whale in 1819. Owen ended up in the lifeboat with Captain Pollard, his uncle. Two other lifeboats also put out. During the next 3 - 4 months, the lifeboats separated. One was never seen again, but some of those on the remaining two boats were eventually rescued. During those long months at sea (and on desert islands), many of the men died. The remainder eventually had to resort to cannibalism to survive. After the dead of natural causes were consumed, the men determined to draw lots to see who would sacrifice his life for the others. Owen Coffin ``won'' the lottery. The Captain tried to take Owen's place, but the youth insisted on his ``right''. The executioner was also drawn by lot. That <b>...</b>

In July 2011, the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) will unveil an original short film showcasing Nantucket's natural beauty and its significant role in global history. Written and produced by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Ric Burns, Nantucket will serve as a transformative gateway experience for today's island visitor. It chronicles the vibrancy of Nantucket's history, from its original Wampanoag Native American population and early Quaker culture to its international significance as the whaling capital of the world and eventual rebirth as an art and resort colony. The film is narrated by actress Barbara Feldon, known for her role as Agent 99 in the "Get Smart" series from the 1960's. It includes commentary by historians, islanders, and writers including New York Times best-selling author Nathaniel Philbrick, all of whom share personal stories and unique island insight. After a free community film premiere on July 2, this 26-minute film will be shown twice daily at the Nantucket Whaling Museum, 13 Broad Street, throughout the summer and beyond.

Title: Nantucket Sleighride (To Owen Coffin) (track 03) Artist: Mountain Album: Nantucket Sleighride Year: 1971 Label: Sony, Windfall Lyrics: Goodbye, little Robin-Marie Don't try following me Don't cry, little Robin-Marie 'Cause you know I'm coming home soon My ships' leaving on a three-year tour The next tide will take us from shore Windlaced, gather in sail and spray On a search for the mighty sperm whale Fly your willow branches Wrap your body round my soul Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets There are years behind us reaching To the place where hearts are beating And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon The black man is playing his tune An old salt's sleeping his watch away He'll be drunk again before noon Three years sailing on bended knee We found no whales in the sea Don't cry, little Robin-Marie 'Cause we'll be in sight of land soon Fly your willow branches Wrap your body round my soul Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets There are years behind us reaching To the place where hearts are beating And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet

This is dedicated to Warren Winslow, a cousin of Lowell, who died at sea when his ship sank. The opening quotation was from Genesis, but it's inexact. Clamavimus means "we cry out to you" (I think) There are many references to Moby Dick, such as the boat's name "Pequod". The poem has been reviwed extensively on the web. There's more notes here: tinyurl.com en.wikipedia.org Our Lady of Walsingham is at the Slipper Chapel, Walsingham, Norfolk, England. "Pilgrims have made the journey to Walsingham from all over Britain - and the world - since the 11th century, not long after the Lady Richeldis had her vision of Our Lady in 1061. However, Henry VIII ordered the Shrine to be destroyed in 1538 as part of the English Reformation and it was not until 1922 that the then Vicar of Walsingham decided to undertake the restoration of the Shrine." www.walsinghamanglican.org.uk The quotation was originally, "Non est species ei, neque decor." It is from Isiah ch53 v2 - In the King James version it is rendered as "There is no beauty in him, nor comeliness" or in other versions "he has neither form nor majesty". The most unconsciously apt remark I found when searching the web was from a young man who had been set this poem for coursework, appealing for help, "What's this guy on?" Well, he was on alcohol, tranquillisers, unrewarding relationships, psychoanalysis: in fact, everything he could think of that could be guaranteed to do him more mischief and increase his misery....

Early this fall, CitiCenter for Performing Arts in Boston approached the Nantucket Dreamland Foundation with the idea of creating a flash mob on Main Street during Nantucket's Christmas Stroll. With the help of their choreographer, Courtney Falite, the Dreamland's Director of Programming, Donald J. Dallaire, organized over 75 Island residents of all ages through more than two months of rehearsals. The outcome was an inspiring, fun filled community dance that filled Main Street with smiles, laughter and sheer excitement right before the arrival of Santa. We thank CitiCenter for their inspiration and their talent. We look forward to much more programmatic collaboration with them in the future. We thank our dancers who worked so hard to deliver such an outstanding performance. Keep your eyes open, you never know where we'll pop up next.
