Take a relaxing harbor cruise through Narragansett Bay en route to the restored 1870 Rose Island Lighthouse. Enjoy panoramic views of Newport's legendary rocky coastline and lively commentary by your captain, who will point out important landmarks en route to the Rose Island. Explore the functioning beacon and living museum for an opportunity to learn how lighthouse keepers live and work. Built on Rose Island during the Revolutionary War, Fort Hamilton protected Newport from attack until the end of WWII. Today it is a wildlife refuge and home to a host of migrating birds. When you complete your exploration of this scenic area, the cruise vessel will bring you back to the pier.
