This original black and white fine art photograph captures Sankaty Head Lighthouse rising out of the Nantucket moors — the bold black and white banded tower set against a wide, open sky, wild grass and scrub filling the foreground, a handful of weathered rooftops just visible on the horizon. It's the east end of the island, far enough from town that it still feels like the Nantucket that existed before everything else arrived.
Sankaty Head is one of the most iconic lighthouses on the Eastern Seaboard. Built in 1850 and standing on the bluffs of Siasconset, it guided ships through some of the most treacherous waters off the New England coast for over 150 years. The black and white treatment here suits it — this is a lighthouse that has earned its gravitas.
If you already have the Brant Point Lighthouse print, these two hang together beautifully as a Nantucket pair. If this is your first, it won't be your last.
A natural fit for Nantucket cottages, Cape Cod beach houses, coastal living rooms, and New England interiors of all kinds. Works as a standalone statement piece or as part of a black and white gallery wall.
