Michelle, Nantucket Collection Owner
During the Whaling Era on Nantucket, the men on the ships had a lot of down time. To pass the time, the men began to make baskets while out at sea. The baskets would become known as The Nantucket Lightship Basket. The baskets were weaved with rattan (also known as cane) on a mold and have a solid wooden base.
For more information on the history of The Nantucket Lightship basket click below to visit the Nantucket Basket Museum website. If you haven't visited the museum, I would highly suggest it- it's a very interesting look at history and amazing to see the intricate and detailed designs of the baskets. Also it's a short picturesque walk from town at the corner of Union Street & Weymouth Lane.
With a love of the Nantucket Basket, The Nantucket Collection has a terrific selection of Nantucket basket products and gifts. Our kitchen and entertaining line has been quite popular with the Nantucket basket motif.
