Brenton Reef Light, Navigational lighthouse at Narragansett Bay entrance, Rhode Island, US.
The steel tower lighthouse stood 87 feet tall at the entrance of Narragansett Bay, displaying two white flashes every ten seconds for maritime guidance.
Constructed in 1962 to replace a lightship stationed since 1853, the Brenton Reef Light operated until its decommissioning in 1989 and dismantling in 1992.
The lighthouse represented Rhode Island's maritime navigation system, guiding vessels through Narragansett Bay's challenging entrance near Beavertail Point.
Connected to Beavertail Light through submarine cables, the automated lighthouse provided visibility for 22 nautical miles across the waters.
After dismantling, the lighthouse structure was repurposed as an artificial reef off Long Island, contributing to marine habitat development.
