Nantucket Lightship LV-112 (1935), Oyster Bay, New York
The Lightship LV-112 replaced an earlier model LV-117 that had been sunk in a collision with a passenger liner. LV-112 was primarily stationed at Nantucket Shoals throughout most of its active-duty service. It was retired in 1975 and was moved a couple of times within the northeast coast of the U.S. including Oyster Bay where this picture was taken. Since 2010, the lightship has found a permanent home as a floating museum at the Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina.
