Baskets & Bubbly Fundraising Event

An event to support the island craft of Nantucket lightship baskets with a Celebration Under the Whale at the Whaling Museum on Sunday, July 16, from 5 to 7 pm, accompanied by an online auction that will run from July 10 to 17, providing bidders with the exclusive opportunity to bid on baskets and basket-related items.

The Nantucket Historical Association is committed to preserving the Nantucket lightship basket craft by enhancing the permanent lightship basket collection, displaying exhibitions, and teaching children and adults the art form. Baskets & Bubbly supports the Nantucket Lightship Basket Fund at the NHA, which is used solely to carry out this mission and share the history of Nantucket Lightship baskets.
