Rose Island Lighthouse

Rose Island Lighthouse stands on Rose Island at the entrance to Newport Harbor in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Completed in 1870, the granite lighthouse was built to guide vessels navigating the busy harbor approaches and the shipping routes that connected Newport with ports throughout New England. Surrounded by open water and commanding views of Newport Harbor, the East Passage, and the Newport Bridge, the lighthouse occupies a strategic location in one of the nation's most historic sailing centers. Today, it remains a cherished symbol of Rhode Island's maritime heritage.

This vintage-inspired Rose Island Lighthouse print celebrates one of Narragansett Bay's most beloved coastal beacons. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and simplified forms of WPA-era travel posters, the artwork highlights the lighthouse's island setting, classic architecture, and sweeping harbor views. Designed for lighthouse enthusiasts, sailors, maritime historians, and collectors of New England landmarks, this piece captures the enduring character of a beacon that has welcomed mariners to Newport Harbor for more than 150 years.
