Sankaty Head Lighthouse (MA) Mechanical Animated Tide Clock
Everything Nautical is proud to present the Sankaty Head Lighthouse, Massachusetts, Animated Tide Clock. This stunning clock tracks the tide in true nautical fashion. While the dial counts away the hours between tide cycles below, the top is mechanically animated to show the changing sea level in real time. At high tide the water will sit below the edge of the property, and slowly lower to reveal the sandy bluffs before beginning to rise again.
The Sankaty Head Lighthouse was originally built in 1850 on the easternmost point of Nantucket to help sailors navigate the treacherous shoals. The lower half of the building is constructed of brick while it's top is made of granite. The lighthouse was converted to electricity 1933 and then fully automated in 1965. In 1987 the lighthouse was included on the list for the National Register of Historic Places. After the 'Sconset Trust acquired the lighthouse in 2007 they moved it 400 feet back from the eroding edge of the bluff, saving it from eventual deconstruction. It is still in operation today.
A fun and whimsical addition to any room, this tide clock is hand-crafted right in New England. It works to track the tide anywhere that has two high and low tides per day and will run all year on a single AA battery. Choose from 3 different wooden frame colors (Navy, Black, and Gray), or upgrade to our Deluxe Mahogany Frame for added quality and class.
