She is currently in the Boston Harbor. I don't know when she moved there, but the closing paragraph should be updated. Phiwum ( talk) 21:37, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
The article title is misleading and not accurate. The stations were named, the vessels had numbers. A vessel got the station name painted on the side for quick identification of the hazard or place marked by mariners. In most cases many vessels served a station and had the big station name painted on their hulls. A few vessels served very long terms on a station. In no case was the vessel name changed. As with other cases where vessels only had numbers, many Navy harbor service craft for example, the number is the name and is italicized. This vessel was only one of a number of vessels serving and marked Nantucket. This vessel was preceded by United States lightship Nantucket (LV-112) and succeed by Lightship WLV-613. LV-112 is also preserved using the "name" Nantucket — a point of possible confusion. Palmeira ( talk) 19:29, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
