Ha, that is a sharp contrast to my experience! I realized partway through his description of Nantucket that, though I've heard of it before, I actually had no idea where it was. I ended up googling it to figure it out.
(I would like to see a picture of that tablet, if it's not inconvenient/imgur works for you.)
I have to say, that whole segment on the chowder made me hungry.
DA I live in New England now, too, although oddly enough I live in a port city and usually forget it...but a lot of the atmospheric details resonate with me. I don't recall having seen tablets in churches, but I've definitely wandered through graveyards and seen stones for sailors lost at sea.
And I don't even like chowder, but that chapter made me look up recipes.
