I was pleasantly surprised to find a great article about the Nantucket Lightship, WLV 612, in the September 2004 issue of "Yachting". The article is in their "The Yachting Life" section and is titled "Encore!"

The six page article is filled with pictures of the amazing transformation of a sad vessel destined for the scrapyards until purchased by Bill and Kristen Golden on eBay for $126,100. The whole story of the transformation is quite interesting as well as what the vessel is doing now.

There is a web site www.nantucketlightship.com that contains many interesting phtos and facts about the vessel. It is well worth the visit.

I wonder if the Goldens own an Anchor Bay replica of their boat?
