Hog Island Shoal Light
Hog Island Shoal Light, Historic lighthouse in Newport County, United States.
The cast iron lighthouse rises 54 feet from a cylindrical foundation set in the waters off Hog Island near Mount Hope Bay.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1900 to replace a lightship, marking the final light station formally established in Rhode Island.
The lighthouse earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 for its maritime significance in Rhode Island navigation.
The structure contains a fog signal system that produces two distinct blasts every thirty seconds to guide vessels through low visibility conditions.
The lighthouse operates with a fifth-order Fresnel lens measuring 9.8 inches, projecting light visible up to twelve nautical miles at sea.
