Newport Harbor Light
Newport Harbor Light, Historic lighthouse on Goat Island in Newport, United States
The 35-foot granite tower features an octagonal shape with a fourth-order Fresnel lens directing ships through Narragansett Bay at night.
Congress allocated funds to construct the first lighthouse in 1823, which operated until 1842 when the current structure replaced it in a nearby location.
Newport Harbor Light represents essential maritime navigation infrastructure, guiding vessels through one of the busiest harbors on the East Coast since 1842.
While the lighthouse interior remains closed, visitors can view the structure from surrounding walkways and capture photographs from multiple vantage points.
In 1921, a submarine collision damaged the keeper's house foundation, leading to its demolition and the subsequent automation of the lighting system.
