Pomham Rocks Lighthouse

Pomham Rocks Lighthouse stands on a small island in the Providence River near East Providence, Rhode Island. Completed in 1871, the lighthouse was built to guide vessels navigating the busy waterways connecting Providence Harbor with Narragansett Bay. The distinctive cast-iron structure played an important role in supporting the maritime commerce and industrial growth that helped shape Rhode Island during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Surrounded by tidal waters and urban shoreline, the lighthouse remains a unique landmark of the state's maritime heritage.

This vintage-inspired Pomham Rocks Lighthouse print celebrates one of Rhode Island's most distinctive harbor beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's elegant architecture, island setting, and historic connection to Providence's waterfront. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, maritime historians, coastal travelers, and collectors of New England landmarks, this piece captures the enduring character of a beacon that has guided mariners through the upper reaches of Narragansett Bay for more than 150 years.
