Description: Point Judith Lighthouse Narragansett, RI A nostalgic art print of Point Judith Lighthouse with the USCGC Eagle sailing by from a painting on a nautical chart by William B. MacGregor Jr. (Nautical Chart Background-Narragansett Bay, RI ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Point Judith is located on the west side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay and north side of the eastern entrance to Block Island Sound. This area is very busy with water traffic and the waters around Point Judith are very cold and dangerous. The present octagonal brownstone granite tower was erected in 1856, and the upper half of the tower is painted brown and the lower half is White. In 1871 ship captains asked for the Point Judith fog signal be changed from a horn to a whistle. The reason is to distinguish the Point Judith light from Beavertail which used a siren for fog. In 1917 the brick oil house was added, 1923 the fog signal building was added and the present Coast Guard building in 1937. In 2000 Point Judith light underwent a major restoration. Today Point Judith Coast Guard Station maintains the lighthouse along with their maritime duties. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Point Judith Lighthouse, Narragansett RI Free shipping (USA only) Art Print Art print is printed on Canson Fine Art-Photo Rag Paper or equivalent.
