Sea Dogs in Nantucket, things to do in Nantucket

If you're getting up to Nantucket this summer or early fall, be sure to make your way over to the Nantucket Shipwreck & LIfesaving Museum.

They're showcasing an exhibit called "Sea Dogs! Great Tails of the Sea," through October 11th.

A traveling exhibit originally developed for Mystic Seaport ® , it tells stories of lifesaving dogs, United States Coast Guard dogs, fishing dogs and lighthouse dogs with a long maritime history of being valued companions on land and at sea.

Paintings, photographs, artifacts, children's books, family activities, and a partial replica of a wrecked ship are part of the exhibition.

The museum is located at 158 Polpis Road, 3.5 miles from Nantucket Town.
