Brenton Reef Light

The Brenton Reef Light was a Texas tower lighthouse at the entrance to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, United States, south of Beavertail Point.

Brenton Reef was selected for such replacement, but a somewhat smaller facility was constructed instead.

It was connected to the Beavertail Light by submarine cables and maintained by Coast Guardsmen out of the Newport, Rhode Island station, and was converted to fully automatic operation during its active lifetime.

The following year the pieces were sunk off Long Island as part of an artificial reef.

A lighted buoy replaced the tower at a position somewhat further south, where it remains at present.
