The message is interesting – “Tuesday. Left Newport (Rhode Island I assume) yesterday morning in lifting fog. Fog fell again when half-way east. Dodged steamer exactly like one week ago until we hit the lightship and then swung off to the eastward. Reached here last night about 11 in clear weather.” Signed Ed

My sister Nan first discovered the charm of Nantucket in the summer of 1947. My sister Ruth and my mother and I joined her in subsequent years. We all had special memories of swimming and sunbathing at the Jetties. And my sisters met their future husbands at the Jetties. Looking down the years you might say I have 4 plus 8 nieces and nephews thanks to the charm of the Jetties.
