Specialized US art shipping services are in great demand today, as more and more art owners, dealers, galleries, and auction houses rely on professional art handlers with experience. Fine Art Shippers is one the leading art logistics service providers in the USA, with a head office in New York and broad coverage of US states.
As a company directed at continuous growth and service expansion, we are working on the diversification of art shuttle routes in an effort to cover larger distances and reach out to new locations. This September, we’re happy to announce that in addition to our regular destinations, we will have an art shuttle from NYC to Nantucket.
The Nantucket Island: A Closer Acquaintance
Nantucket is an island located 30 miles south of Cape Cod, so it is justly regarded as the southeasternmost point of the state of Massachusetts. The place has inherited its name from the ancient Algonquian language that the continent’s inhabitants used to speak before contact with Europeans.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Nantucket was famous for the whaling industry, but its economic turmoil, coupled with the Great Fire tragedy of 1846, left a major part of the island depopulated. It also suffered from limited development investment because of its isolated position and complex logistics.
At present, the island is inhabited by over 14,000 people and represents a cozy place with a mild oceanic climate unique to the US East Coast. There are still logistics complications, with all deliveries arriving to and from the island by ferry transportation. Despite the small number of people inhabiting it, the island is known as a world-class destination with charming cobblestone streets and luxurious hotels. Its art heartbeat is also active, with many art galleries attracting visitors willing to embrace the place’s unique cultural makeup.
