Welcome!
The Nantucket Lightship Baskets have a great history. In the 1800’s one of the most famous Nantucket Lightships was anchored off the shores of the island to warn approaching ships that there were dangerous shoals nearby. While on board, the crew that manned the ship began to make baskets to keep themselves busy and to sell on Nantucket. Unfortunately, after 1900 the baskets were no longer made on board the ship. However, the tradition of making these baskets was continued on the island itself and has become a very unique part of Nantucket.
