Newport Harbor Light

The Newport Harbor Light, also known as the Goat Island Light or Green Light, built in 1842, is located on north end of Goat Island, which is part of the city of Newport, Rhode Island, United States, in Narragansett Bay.

[2][3][4] The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

The current light was constructed in 1842 a few yards off the coast of Goat Island, and was connected to Goat Island by a narrow dike (the area was filled in the 1960s for the hotel) because the previous light failed in adequately warning ships of a reef just a few yards off Goat Island.

The original lighting apparatus, however, was transferred to the newer lighthouse in 1842.

In 1921, a submarine hit the breakwater, damaging the foundation of the keeper's house.
