Small Ship Cruising: New England Islands
(Parts 1 & 2)
In this adventure,
we cruise on a small ship (that carries just 84 passengers and a crew
of 17) to some of New England's most beautiful island ports. The first
stop, Cuttyhunk, with just a quarter-mile of paved roads, offers a
glimpse of the natural beauty of these North Atlantic islands. Next
we explore Martha's Vineyard, from the famous Black Dog Tavern to
the historic Flying Horses Carousel at Oak Bluffs. We tender into
Nantucket, with its cobblestone streets and rich whaling history,
to learn how the Nantucket Basket came into being. Soon we're at Block
Island's Old Harbor, gateway to the Great Salt Pond, lighthouses,
and spectacular Victorian hotels. We dock at Fort Adams in Newport
for a front row look at 4th of July fireworks. We also tour Marble
House, one of Newport's famed Gilded Age cottages, and the International
Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum. There are ocean views, music, and
an exploration of the ship, from the bridge to the galley. Small ships
offer a special way of "cruising America's waterways"... and the country
that grew along their shores.
