Martha’s Vineyard Whaling Captain!

Martha's Vineyard Whaling Captain!
Oh, the romance of it all! Almost like living in a Masterpiece Theatre film like The Whales of August. This 4-level house was built in the 1920's, almost a century before Greenpeace, when fishing whales was an acceptable, romantically exciting occupation and being a sail ship captain was one of the most admired professions. This historical house was owned by such and resides on a street lined with homes of other past notable whaling captains, a rarity in itself. This marvelous place has been owned by the same family for five generations of living history.
