I was surprised to see the Nantucket Lightship moored in Newport Harbor this weekend. Unknown if it's there for the summer, or it may have just been there for the weekend. Take a look at the pics. The vessel looks in excellent restored condition.

It was also there May 15 when I took the RI Lighthouse Cruise. We rode by it for some photo ops from about 20 yards away.

It was the WLV-612 (Nantucket I) that has been up for sale for $7.6 million.
