}} Brant Point Light is a lighthouse located on Nantucket Island. The station was established in 1746, automated in 1965, and is still in operation. The current tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1987; it has the distinction of being the tenth light on the point, in addition to several range lights. Four of the others burned or blew down, two were condemned, two were unsatisfactory, and the remaining one stands unused. ==Chronology== *1746: First wood tower, burned 1758 *1759: Second wood tower, blown down March 9, 1774 *1774: Third wood tower, burned 1783 *1783: Lantern between two spars *1786: Fifth light, a frame with a place for lights at the top, wrecked 1788 *1788-95: (date not certain) Sixth light, a tower, condemned 1825 *1825: Tower framework on top of keeper's dwelling, rotten by 1853 *1856: Brick tower, still standing, front light of Nantucket Range Lights *1900: A lantern at the extremity of Brant Point, about from the 1856 tower *1901: Wood tower, the tenth light and seventh tower replaced the 1900 lantern, still in use 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brant Point Light」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
