A lid was added to the standard lightship basket instantly
turning the basket from a household container to a beautiful,
intricate hand-made purse or handbag. The “Nantucket Friendship Basket”
as it came to be known, became a symbol of status and elegance on the island.

From the early days of sailors on whaling ships making baskets and
using them to store basics, like potatos,
for their long trips to current day use- 

the iconic Nantucket Lightship Basket is used as an everyday bag, made and used and an evening bag.
