Captain Robert Cameron graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York. After graduation, he rose rapidly through the ranks and at an early age, commanded ships in the worldwide trade for a major energy company. During his travels, he had the opportunity to see many whales in places as far away as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, and the California Coast.
Capt. Cameron and his wife owned a summer home on Nantucket Island for over two decades. During that time, they had some spectacular whale sightings off the Nantucket shores. One of them was Tuckey the Nantucket Whale. Watching him breach, spout, and have so much fun inspired Capt. Cameron to write Tuckey the Nantucket Whale children's book series. Tuckey the Nantucket Whale [[ Travels the World is the fourth in the successfully popular series. The series has been highlighted in the Nantucket Magazine, Naples Magazine, Kings Pointer, and Mahon About Town Nantucket.
