Lightship Nantucket
The Lightship ''Nantucket'' or ''Nantucket Shoals'' was the name given to the lightvessel that marked the hazardous Nantucket Shoals south of Nantucket Island. Several ships have been commissioned and served at the Nantucket Shoals lightship station and have been called ''Nantucket''. It was common for a lightship to be reassigned and then renamed for its new station.
The Nantucket station was a significant US lightship station for transatlantic voyages. Established in 1854, the station marked the limits of the dangerous Nantucket Shoals. She was the last lightship seen by vessels departing the United States, as well as the first beacon seen on approach. The position was southeast of Nantucket Island, the farthest lightship in North America, and experienced clockwise rotary tidal currents.〔

==History==
Lightships and their crews were exposed to many dangers. In addition to the obvious hazards posed by the weather and sea conditions, vessels marking shipping lanes on occasion were struck by the very traffic they existed to protect. Ships would home on their radio beacons at night and in fog, but were expected to post lookouts and to turn away in time.
