Behind the Friends' Meeting House the simple slate gravestones of the Nantucket whalers and their families can still be seen. Some have been placed along the rear wall of the building, others are still in place lying horizontally over the graves to the right. Most bear initials only (S for Starbuck, F for Folger etc.); they date from early to late C19.
