Folks used to plan their visits to the island (or off) to take advantage of the scheduling of these vessels. They were beautiful, elegant and simple, and quiet except for the wail of their whistle. Islanders who knew, rode and loved these vessels still mourn their demise and are glad that occasionally one can hear a steam whistle from one of the current crop of ferries which have been refitted with an old steam whistle.This wonderful books contains photos and stories of an era of gracious (albeit occasionally inconvenient -- if the numbers of travelers and cars exceeded the capacity) travel that is sadly behind us.Meanwhile the NOBSKA's engine remains in storage, in case someone wishes to build a replica................... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing alive an era that is no more *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2015* This is a wonderful collection of photographs that bring alive the grand era of steamboats in the United States. Although there are modern, diesel-powered ferries operating to and from Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket today, it's simply not the same. The old steamers like the Nobska, Naushon, and the others, all had distinctive personalities that just doesn't seem to be the case with today's modern boats. If you want to truly feel what the era of steamboats to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket was like, this book is for you. A great labor of love! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great history and photo collection *by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016* Great history and photo collection. Makes me miss the old Nobska ! This is the first new book like this that I know of since Paul Morris wrote "The Island Steamers" in 1977. Lots of good photos and a good written history. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/14843446-steamboats-to-marthas-vineyard-and-nantucket-images-of-america-paperback](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/14843446-steamboats-to-marthas-vineyard-and-nantucket-images-of-america-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
