Brant Point Lighthouse
Nantucket MA
2009

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.

Brant Point Lighthouse has the distinction of being one of the most historic lighthouse Massachusetts locations and also one of the most star-crossed. Established in 1746, several decades before the United States even existed, this site has actually hosted ten beacons in total. The nine unfortunate forebears that preceded today’s light burned, blew over, rotted, wrecked or were condemned.
