Description

Enjoy a private tour of the beautifully restored Pomham Rocks Lighthouse for up to 6 people. The last of five lighthouses situated on the Providence River, this lighthouse is still a working navigational light and has been beautifully restored both inside and out.


Step into the parlor where you will see the fourth-order Fresnel lens, an absolutely stunning artifact of lighthouse history. Throughout the lighthouse you will be able to view many authentic artifacts including brass items that were used during the United States Lighthouse Establishment, Service and Coast Guard periods.
 
After touring the historic interior, climb to the lantern room where you will enjoy beautiful views of Narragansett Bay and the working port of Providence. With luck you will experience one of the huge tankers going by, seemingly so close you could almost touch it
 
To get to Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, you will take a 10-minute boat ride departing from the Edgewood Yacht Club in Cranston and sail across the Bay to the lighthouse. Your tour will also give a nod to the other lighthouses that lit the way for mariners since the nineteenth century at the northern end of the Bay.
