Description
According to the two pillars, large gate and signage near the Wareham police station as you travel south on route 28, Wareham is the gateway to Cape Cod. It also is home to one of the many Nantucket lightship stations, the name given to the light-vessel which marked the hazardous Nantucket Shoals in Massachusetts. Several ships have been commissioned and served at the Nantucket Shoals lightship station and have been called Nantucket.
The Nantucket station was the most 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.
In 1998, WLV-613, Nantucket was purchased by Jack Baker who personally funded a million-dollar overhaul and made the vessel seaworthy once more.
WLV-613 Nantucket was placed on the market for $1.6 million in 2002, but apparently did not change hands as the lightship is still docked in Wareham, Massachusetts, where it has been berthed since being restored by Jack Baker.
