The Lightship Nantucket LV 112 / WAL 534 is the largest, most famous lightship in the world.
NANTUCKET has been designated a National Historic Landmark "This vessel possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America." Designated in 1989 by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Nantucket is now berthed in Boston Harbor.
For 39 years, Nantucket Lightship / LV-112 guided transoceanic shipping to and from U.S. east coast ports, through some of the most treacherous shipping lanes in the world. She was the first symbol of America encountered by thousands of immigrants. Many famous vessels such as the SS United States, the Queen Mary, Normandie and naval cargo vessels depended on her as a navigational aid.

The Lightship Nantucket was on the air for International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend (ILLW) August 21-22, 2010 using the callsign N1N. We operated from the radio shack on board the lightship which is now moored in Boston harbor. If we worked you during the event, THANK YOU!

QSL cards have been made up for the ILLW event and have been sent to all that sent in a SASE.
