[Answer] 5. What was once the world's leading whaling port, but is now a vacation destination for the rich and famous?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. What was once the world's leading whaling port, but is now a vacation destination for the rich and famous? "

...1. Star Island, NH 2. Nantucket, MA 3. Crowninshield Island, MA 4.

Herman Melville wrote, "Two thirds of this terraqueous globe are the Nantucketer's. For the sea is his; he owns it, as Emperors own empires." The other answers all sparkle, glitter or shine.
