[edit] NANTUCKET as Lightship 112, or all Nantucket lightships?

This article has been cleaned up some but still needs work. First, is this an article about Lightship 112, or about all Nantucket lightvessels? Is seems to be the latter but the first line indicates the former. Kablammo 21:42, 19 June 2006 (UTC) I have changed the text to eliminate the intitial reference to LV 112 as the article is really about all vessels on the station. But there is no clear indication on the picture identifying it. Kablammo 23:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I found, added link to NRHP registration document and photos for the ship, and added an NRHP infobox. However, the article is now confusing. I think it should be split, with a separate article for the Lighthouse 112, as there is now enough information for it to be separate. Note also that it is confusing that it was in other states before going to New York, where i think it is now.doncram 19:01, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dates of service

It's not clear when the Nantucket service started. Was it 1823 or 1854? Was the 1823 date when the Ambrose service started, or was there one at the Nantucket Shoals then? Kablammo 17:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the correction. Kablammo 23:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC) I

[edit] Merger proposal

These are obvious candidates for a merge.--Appraiser (talk) 21:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Not really. This page could provide a useful overview of the history and development of lightships of Nantucket, with links to articles on the individual ships themselves. It's fairly common practice at WP:SHIPS. There are also noises being made about writing another article on a Nantucket lightship not covered here. Benea (talk) 14:51, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Delamar hotel in Greenwich

A "NANTUCKET" lightship appears to be docked alongside a hotel on Steamboat Road in Greenwich, Connecticut. A sign at the dock gives a telephone number to make reservations to stay in rooms aboard the lightship. A stay in the Nantucket Lightship is currently advertised to cost $1600.00 at http://www.thedelamar.com/rooms.html. I suspect that the Greenwich lightship is LV 162. It seems to be the same at the vessel in Image:Lightship nantucket color.jpg and not the (LV112?) in Image:LightshipNantucket.jpg. Could beter captions be used to more clearly which LV designation is which for the presention of the images in the article? 67.86.73.252 (talk) 16:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
