Massachusetts Breweries History: Brant Point Brewing Company
Brant Point Brewing Company is a beer marketing company. Their
beer is actualy brewed by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company.
The Brant Point Lighthouse on Nantucket Island is America's second-oldest
lighthouse (after Boston) and owes its existence to a town meeting held on
Nantucket Island in 1846. Tired of seeing their whaling ships miss the
Nantucket Harbor and pile up on nearby beaches, the island folk approved
spending two hundred English pounds to construct a small wooden light tower.
The little lighthouse burned to the ground several times during its more than
250 years of service, but it was always rebuilt. It was Automated in 1965 and
retired in december of 1999.
