楠塔基特島 楠塔基特島大點燈塔 楠塔基特島（Nantucket）是約12,000人的小島。但是，冒險前往由狹窄的沙嘴組成的北部沙地，只能通過4x4車輛進(jìn)入，在通往這座歷史悠久且仍然非常重要的燈塔的途中，您可能不會遇到很多人。

島上最北端的“大角燈”的起源可以追溯到1784年，當(dāng)時楠塔基特（Nantucket）舉世聞名-并不是因為它出現(xiàn)在無數(shù)（通常是笨拙的）油輪上，而是作為美國捕鯨業(yè)的中心。赫爾曼·梅爾維爾（Herman Melville）寫道，楠塔基特島捕鯨者曾經(jīng)控制著全球三分之二的水域，要回到家中，所有這些捕鯨船必須在該島北岸和附近的科德角之間的危險淺灘上航行。這座燈塔就是解決之道，首先是在1816年燒毀的木塔形式，然后是在1984年被暴風(fēng)雨推倒的石頭版本。目前的結(jié)構(gòu)（部分使用以前的材料建造）于1986年投入使用，自正式運作以來。

英語原文:

Nantucket is the island home of about 12,000 people. But venture to its sandy northern reaches, composed of narrow sand spits and only accessible via 4x4 vehicles, and you might not bump into many folks on your way to this historic—and still very important—lighthouse.The Great Point Light on the island's northernmost tip traces its origin to 1784, a time when Nantucket was world famous—not so much for appearing in countless (often bawdy) limericks, but as the epicenter of the American whaling industry. Herman Melville wrote that Nantucket whalers once controlled two-thirds of the globe's waters, and to get home, all those whaling ships had to navigate the perilous shoals between the island's north shore and nearby Cape Cod. This lighthouse was the solution, first in the form of a wooden tower that burned in 1816, then a stone version toppled by a storm in 1984. The current structure, built partly with materials from the previous one, was dedicated in 1986 and has been in official operation since.
