Hog Island Light, Maritime lighthouse in Portsmouth, United States.
The Hog Island Shoal lighthouse rises 60 feet above water with a white conical tower mounted on a black cylindrical pier in Narragansett Bay.
Established in 1886 with a lightship, the current cast iron structure was constructed in 1901 to guide ships through the dangerous reef near Mount Hope Bay.
The lighthouse represents Rhode Island's maritime navigation history as the final light station formally established in the state's waters.
The lighthouse emits a white light every three seconds and includes a fog signal system that mariners can activate through VHF radio communication.
The structure stands on a circular concrete foundation in 10 feet of water, utilizing a modern VLB-44 LED optic system with a 12-nautical-mile range.
