Block Island Southeast Light Historic Lighthouse

The Block Island Southeast Light is a historic lighthouse situated on the southeastern tip of Block Island, Rhode Island. First lit in 1875, this iconic structure was built to guide maritime traffic safely through the treacherous waters between Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Its strategic location is crucial for navigating the often turbulent waters off the coast of Rhode Island, a region known for its rocky shoals and unpredictable weather.

The lighthouse itself is a charming example of 19th-century American maritime architecture. Standing at 180 feet tall, it was constructed from native granite and is characterized by its classic white and red striped pattern, which helps it stand out against the sometimes harsh New England weather. The Block Island Southeast Light features a distinctive Fresnel lens, a technology that revolutionized lighthouse illumination with its ability to project a powerful, focused beam of light over long distances.

In addition to its operational role, the Block Island Southeast Light is a beloved historical landmark.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
I re-joined Mastodon tonight. Giving it a second chance.

I’m a #writer who writes mostly paranormal fiction with a touch of romance. I have three books available at my website:

Might I suggest starting with Arrivals and Departures. (A&D) It is a recurring character seven story collection that takes place on #blockisland.

The sequel called For the Love of Block Island will be published in mid March early April.

A color photograph taken from a coastal overlook on a partly sunny day. In the foreground, a seagull glides on strong winds, hanging in the air just off the hillside close to the camera. In the background, a long stone breakwater curves away from the shore, bending right towards a second even longer breakwater from the opposite direction. The sea is grey, and the sky largely covered by white clouds with bright blue peaking through.

A color photograph of a memorial taken on a bright day with some clouds in the sky. In the foreground, backed by some greenery, three headstone shaped memorial stones stand in a curved line, the center one slightly taller. The left and right stones have swooping tops, evoking sea swells, the center stone has a curved top, and an inset plaque depicting a small sailing vessel.

The center stone reads “POINT JUDITH FISHERMAN’S MEMORIAL” followed by the John Masefield poem, “Sea-Fever”. The left and right stones contain the names of those lost. In front of the stones, a low disc stands, a compass rose and cardinal directions carved into it. Visitors have placed stones along the tops of the memorial stones.

The sea framing the background is bright blue. Directly over the center stone, where the sea meets the sky, an island (Block Island) is visible at the horizon.
