| 説明 | Per Wikipedia:"The Rose Island Light, built in 1870, is on Rose Island in Narragansett Bay in Newport (RI). It is preserved, maintained, and operated by The Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation, and is one of a group of New England lighthouses built to an award-winning design by Vermont architect Albert Dow.Rose Island Light has sisters at Sabin Point, Pomham Rocks, and Colchester Reef. The lighthouse stands atop a bastion of Fort Hamilton, which was under construction in 1798-1800, but never completed.The building was abandoned as a functioning lighthouse in 1970, after the Newport (Pell) Bridge was constructed nearby with modern electronic navigation-aid devices. In 1984, the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation was founded to restore the dilapidated light on behalf of the City of Newport, which had received it for free from the U.S. government.In 1987, the federal government listed the lighthouse on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1992 it was relit as a private, nighttime aid to navigation.The lighthouse is today a travel destination, reached only by boat from Fort Adams State Park in Newport. For a fee to the Foundation, visitors can spend a night as a guest or a week as the 'lighthouse keeper', completing many of the chores required to keep the lighthouse in good condition."DSC_2030 |
