Bullock's Point Light, Historical lighthouse on Providence River, Rhode Island, United States
The lighthouse, constructed on a large shoal extending into Providence River, featured a frame house with a lantern projecting from the center roof.
Built in 1876 after previous attempts with daymarks and portable beacons, the lighthouse guided vessels through Providence River until its replacement in 1939.
The lighthouse keepers maintained maritime safety traditions, with Andrew Zuius continuing operations even during the destructive hurricane of 1938.
The structure reached 35 feet in height with a sixth-order Fresnel lens producing a fixed red light visible for 7.5 nautical miles.
Keeper William Tengren performed a notable rescue on June 30, 1918, saving four individuals from a capsized boat near the lighthouse.
