The Nantucket Cliff Lights,also known as the Nantucket Cliff Range Lights were a set of range lights on Nantucket. Over the years,there were several sets of range lights to lead ships into Nantucket Harbor. [1] [2] The first were built in 1838. The second,a pair of conical white towers which still exist-owned by the Gilbreth family of "Cheaper by the Dozen" Fame-although not on the same site,were discontinued in 1912. The Gilbreth Family purchased the two latter range lights in 1921.
