Exploring Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Massachusetts
Christened in 1602 by British explorer Bartholomew Gosnold in honour of his daughter, Martha’s Vineyard is no longer covered in wild grapes. Today, it’s an island of beautiful beaches, woods, farmland, cranberry bogs, charming inns and tourists, distinguished from neighbouring Nantucket by its proximity to the mainland and its Cape Cod-like variety of landscapes and communities.
