Description: Rose Island Lighthouse with the winter harbor seals Newport, RI Rose Island Lighthouse Art Print is from an original watercolor painting on a nautical chart by William B. MacGregor Jr., who is known in the New England area as the Nautical Chart Artist. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rose Island Lighthouse was built in 1869. The dwelling and attached light tower was built on the ruins of Fort Hamilton. The light was first lighted on January 20, 1870. The island was also used by the Navy to build and store torpedoes/ mines and abandoned the island in the mid-1950. In 1969 the Newport Bridge was finished and the Coast Guard closed the lighthouse in 1971. The Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation was formed in 1984 to in restore and maintains the lighthouse. After years of hard work the light was relighted in 1993 On June 25, 1999 the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation acquired the rest of the island. The whole island will now be protected. In the winter Newport Harbor is a haven for seals as depicted in front of the painting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nautical Chart Art Print of Rose Island Lighthouse in Newport Rhode Island.

His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics.
