The Ships Inn in Nantucket, Nantucket, United States | Inn

The Ships Inn represents a unique piece of Nantucket history while providing the comfort and convenience essential to our visitors. The sought-after Nantucket combination of a historic bed and breakfast with an acclaimed restaurant serving fresh local ingredients lends itself to a memorable experience.
Built in 1831 by whaling captain Obed Starbuck, The Ships Inn has guest rooms which are named after the ships he commanded. The Inn and the Restaurant were restored in 1991, unveiling a freshness which still maintains the integrity and charm of their history. The Inn was the birthplace of abolitionist Lucretia Mott.
From May to October, The Ships Inn Restaurant offers one of Nantucket's finest dining experiences. Located in an historic whaling captain's mansion built in 1831, the dining room and lounge are below street level and have an updated colonial atmosphere. Tall windows along two walls let in the summer breezes and let escape the sounds of happy conversation. This restaurant is a very good choice for an evening out with friends, and there are cozy, intimate alcoves for more romantic encounters.
