ALL ABOARD!! On Thursday, May 9th, the Nantucket Lightship set sail with Southampton brand Jack Wills, their “fabulously British” crew, and a stylish set of first mates. Guests explored the ship and discovered the Jack Wills SUMMER COLLECTION displayed in every room, offering a sneak peek at what haute Hamptonites will be sporting this season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Nantucket Lightship is a historic floating lighthouse that was built in 1950. The lightship has been stationed three miles off of the Golden Gate Bridge, passed through the Panama Canal and served in Portland, Maine until 1975. After an additional 10 years of service, the Nantucket Lightship was decommissioned by the US Coast Guard and remains the last lightship in the United States.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jack Wills creates clothes “with a heavy dose of the hedonistic college lifestyle. The brand offers relevant clothing for hipsters looking for an eccentric mix of preppy-meets-posh!” The Nantucket Lightship was docked in Battery Park City. Guests dropped by for a cold beer, and signature vodka drinks were provided by Nantucket’s own Cisco Brewers and knoshed on lobster rolls from The Lobster Joint during the sunset cocktail party on the Hudson River.
