Description: You are bidding a N scale Sankaty Head Lighthouse model with Sankaty Head Lighthouse sits 70 feet tall on the bluff at the end of what is now Baxter Road in Siasconset in Nantucket Ma.The wood stand in the picture is NOT included. It is there to showcase the model.The name of this lighthouse is derived from the language of the Native Americans who lived on Nantucket, the Wampanoags. Their word "sankoty" means highland, and even erosion hasn't changed the appropriateness of that name.The stalwart lighthouse was built in 1850 and has not been replaced. Upon a 1990 inspection of the structure, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wrongly predicted that it would fall off a nearby sea cliff within 10 years. Nonetheless, in 2007 the lighthouse was very meticulously moved 400 feet back from the cliff's edge. In 1987, it was tucked in right next to its counterpart in The National Register of Historic Places, even though it still functions as a navigational device. The tower itself is not open to the public, but you are free to roam the grounds at any time throughout the year.The location offers a breathtaking view of the island's moors and the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
