Fits with being a different camera. Where did it go?

Nailed it! Nantucket it is. As to ferry routes, today I think it's two ferry rides: Quonset to Martha's Vineyard, and on from there on to Nantucket.  He did pass a number of other vessels and took photos, these being new to someone from Ithaca, NY. Apologies as these are not sailboats, but...
