Nantucket in the 1880s was a island town whose whaling fleet had vanished, leaving its wharves and merchant houses to a smaller economy built on fishing, coastal shipping, and a growing summer trade. The last Nantucket whaling voyage sailed in 1869, and the island's population had already fallen far below its early-nineteenth-century peak. Residents rebuilt the downtown after the Great Fire of 1846 destroyed much of it, and they kept the older street pattern and many Federal-style houses. Steamboats from the mainland brought visitors, and a railroad to Siasconset opened in 1881, linking the town to the island's eastern village. A map drawn from above shows how compact that old town remained.
