United States Lightship Museum Inc
The mission of the United States Lightship Museum is to preserve and maintain Nantucket Lightship/LV-112 in perpetuity, reestablishing this National Historic Landmark and National Treasure in its homeport of Boston. LV-112 serves as a floating museum and learning center open to the general public, chronicling the maritime history of the U.S. Lightship Service (1820 - 1985). The long-term goals of the U.S. Lightship Museum are two-fold. First and foremost, our objective is to preserve and protect the historic integrity of LV-112. The ship is shared with the public as a floating educational institution, illuminating the importance of the U.S. Lightship Service and its historic relevance to transatlantic commerce, maritime history, culture, arts and the marine/nautical sciences.
