Dutch Island Light, Lighthouse in Newport County, United States
Dutch Island Light features a brick tower that rises 13 meters above sea level with a red beacon that flashes every six seconds.
The initial lighthouse construction began in 1826 using stones from the island, while the current brick structure was completed in 1857.
The lighthouse represents maritime navigation heritage, marking the west passage of Narragansett Bay for ships entering Dutch Island Harbor.
The structure operates with solar-powered lighting since its restoration, making it visible to boats navigating through Narragansett Bay at night.
Fort Greble, established near the lighthouse in the 1890s, contained long-range artillery and remained active until 1924.
