MAV -LIGHTHOUSES CF MASSACHUSETTS THEMATIC GROUP NOMINATION Lighthouse #7 page 4 Chronological History 1746- The Town of Sherborn (later changed to Nantucket), voted to build a lighthouse on Brant Point. 1758 - 1774- 1783 - 1786 - 1788- 1795- 1825- 1839 1854 - 1856- The first light burned, another was built. The second light was blown down in a storm, so a third wooden 1igh thouse was erected (both the first and second lights were built at a cost to the town, not the Commonwealth).
The keeper at Brant Point collected six shillings from each vessel to help the costs of maintenance, beginning August 1, 1774. The third light burned. The Town of Sherborn built another, and continued to collect a fee from vessels using the harbor. (Boston Light also collected a fee). The last light, igot ale coast according to the Coast Guard records, was actually little more than a beacon. This "beacon" was replaced by another. The second "beacon" was blown down in a story. A ligh thouse was built aga in by the town. Sherborn changed its name to Nantucket. On June 23, the Grant of the Commorwealth of Massachusetts stated that "The United States derives its title to the Light House situate on Brant Point at the entrance of the Harbor of Nantucket, together with the land and tenements..." The lighthouse that was ceded to the U.S. was, in fact, the sixth lighthouse at Brant Point.
The sixth lighthouse was condemned. The seventh light was built onto the keeper's dwell ing. A piece of land was sold to the U.S. as a possible site for "Harbor Lights". It consisted of 42 acres, and probably includes the land on which the Light Station now stands. Congress appropriated $15,000 for rebuilding the lighthouse at foundation of the tower is of concrete 2 feet thick and 18 Foumd Pion of the The towers was described as follows: "The feet in diameter. The base is of hammered granite laid in a course 2 feet thick to a height of 12 feet. The interior of the base forms a cystern, where water may be caught for household pur poses. The lamp is of cast iron with 12 lights of plate glass. The lantern was a catadioptric appratus of was oneroh one fir st ighyhouses in the rss to have a Fresne lens installed. The tower (present dismantled one) and attached keeper's house were built.
MAY 4 LIGHTHOUSES OF MASSACHUSETTS THEMATIC GROUP NOMINATION Lighthouse #7 page 5 Chronological History 1900 - It was necessary to move the light because of changes made to the channel. A fixed red beacon light was erected 600' from the tower due to the shifting channel and the need to warn navigators of this change. 1901 - The present tower was built. It was the tenth 1ight (including beacons) and was situated at the extremity of Brant Point. 1908- The two wooden towers were built. To navigators, when lined up, the towers represented the center of the existing 300' wide dredged channel, on the entrance into the harbor. While these range light guided mar iners into the harbor, the 1901 light continued to mark the point itself. 1931- 1936 - The seawall was built. The boathouse (1 1/2 story wood frame, 30 1/2'x 58') and the launchway were built.
1950 - A 1934 Station Dwelling was moved from Coskada and a 1938 Equipment Building was moved from Maddaket. 1959 A bell tower located at the site was removed. The candlepower was increased from 900 to 1400. - 1975 - Brant Point was nominated as a National Landmark as an element of the Nantucket NHL District. 1981 - 1982- The tower has 13,000 candlepower and is visible for 10 miles. MHC approved mov ing of the 1936 boathouse to another site of Nantucket's waterfront. 1983- The Brant Point Station Complex which includes the 1856 abandoned light tower and attached brick keepers dwelling was totally renovated in 1983. The Coast Guard plans to convert the abandoned light tower for use as a communications and watchstanders room. This conversion is an adaption on the lanternhouse theme.
