Nantucket Lighthouses
Why not pay a visit to a Nantucket lighthouse? There are 3 to choose from; don't forget your camera. You can easily drive or bike to Brant Point Light or Sankaty Head, but the trip out to Great Point Light requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Better yet, join a guided eco-tour and climb to the top of the 70' tower.

The Lightkeeper's Daughter
<p>Back before there were computers, radar, sonar, and global positioning devices, seafarers relied on their compasses and the lightkeepers to protect them from the dangerous, jagged coastline. These lighthouses were not automated, had to be tended by hand, along with the warning bells that had to be wound ever few hours. Lone lightkeepers lived in tiny houses alongside the lighthouses. Sometimes these men brought their wives and children to live in the lighthouse. Sometimes these children had to help tend the light, wind the bell, and do whatever else was required.</P>
