Coffin (whaling family) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Coffin (whaling family) The Coffin family were a group of whalers operating out of Nantucket, Massachusetts from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. Some members of the family gained wider exposure due to their discovery of various islands in the Pacific Ocean. ==Family history== Tristram Coffin, born in 1609 in Plymouth, England, left Brixton, Devonshire, England, for America in 1642, first settling in Newbury, Massachusetts, then moving to Nantucket.〔(''My Father's Shoes: Our Coffin Story'' by Ross Coffin, pp 1-25 )〕〔(Tristram Coffin, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters, 1848 )〕 The Coffin family, along with other Nantucket families, including the Gardners and the Starbucks, began whaling seriously in the 1690s in local waters, and by 1715 the family owned three whalers and a trade vessel.〔 In 1763, six men of the Coffin family were captains of ships sailing out of Nantucket, and travelling as far as South America and Greenland.〔(''My Father's Shoes: Our Coffin Story, pp 26-50 )〕
