Nantucket Lightship LV-112 operated from 1936 to 1975 out of Boston Harbor, a beacon for trans-Atlantic shipping lanes.  After being taken out of service it was purchased by non-profit groups, became a National Historic Landmark, and eventually ended up in Oyster Bay, Long Island where it awaited the funds to become a museum. Robert Mannino Jr bought the ship for $1 last year and committed to its restoration. On Tuesday it returned home to Boston.  $125,000 in repairs made the lightship seaworthy enough to be towed to its old home port, but Mannino estimates $850,000 more is needed for a full renovation.  I previously wrote about Lightship Nantucket WLV612.
