Brant Point, Nantucket
Nantucket Harbor
Brant Point and the jetties into Nantucket town, an island harbor in miniature.
A light has marked Brant Point since 1746, one of the oldest light stations in the country. The small white tower occults red every four seconds as the ferries round it into the harbor, past the jetties and the Morse-code buoy at the bar.
