The United States lightship Nantucket (LV-112), also known as Lightship No. 112, Nantucket, is a National Historic Landmark lightship that served at Lightship Nantucket position. It was the last serving lightship and at time of NHL application, one of only two capable of moving under their own power. Her $300,000 cost, greater than that of any predecessor, was paid for by the White Star Line in compensation for the collision and sinking of a prior lightship at the Nantucket lightship position by the RMS Olympic, a sister ship to the Titanic. Seven of 11 staffing the lightship were killed. LV-112, the permanent replacement, was built to be indestructible, and outlasted all others, serving until 1983.
