Bristol Ferry Light, Lighthouse in Bristol, United States.
The square brick lighthouse with an attached keeper's house stands at Bristol Point, marking the northern point of Mount Hope Bay in Narragansett Bay.
Built in 1855 to assist ferry operations between Bristol and Aquidneck Island, the lighthouse ceased operations in 1927 after the Mount Hope Bridge construction.
The Bristol Ferry Light represents maritime navigation heritage and received National Register of Historic Places recognition in February 1988.
The structure now functions as a private residence, located near the base of Mount Hope Bridge on Ferry Road in Bristol, Rhode Island.
Edward Sherman maintained this lighthouse for thirty years until 1916, making him the longest-serving keeper at Bristol Ferry Light.
