Some Facts about Rose Island

Built in 1870 on Narragansett Bay, just outside Newport Harbor, this beautiful
lighthouse remained active for over a hundred years before being abandoned in 1971,
when it fell to prey to vandals and disrepair.

However, in 1984, the good people of Rhode Island joined together to save this
veritable treasure. After nine years of much hard work, Rose Island Lighthouse showed
her light once more and is now an official aid to navigation!

Her light is forty-eight feet high and she shows a flashing white light every six
seconds. She is fully automated.

My personal experience with Rose Island is as an assembly point to start sailboat
races, when the races are held in the Bay, instead of Block Island Sound.

Today, you may visit the light, work in her and even sleep in the same rooms the keepers
slept in; but with a great deal more comfort, since the apartments are modernized.
Boats from nearby Fort Adams take visitors to the light.

This place is a nature lover's dream. There is an abundance of birds and flowers and
the view of the harbor, boat traffic and the many regattas that start "Right outside"
is really outstanding!

You won't forget Rose Island Lighthouse.
