Description: Newport Harbor Lighthouse Goat Island Light or Green Light Newport, Rhode Island Newport Harbor 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 Junkyard Artist. (Nautical Chart Background-Narragansett Bay, RI) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Newport Harbor Lighthouse (also known as Goat Island Light or Green Light ) is located on the North end of Goat Island in Newport Rhode Island. The lighthouse was built in 1842 and in 1864 a Keepers home was added. The keeper’s home was badly damaged and torn down in 1921 when it was struck by a submarine. In 1989 it was placed on the National Register of Historic places and renovated by the US Coast Guard. The lighthouse was automated in 1963. In the 1970’s the area between the lighthouse & goat island was filled in and a motel was built on the property. Since 2000 the Friends of Newport Harbor Light are responsible for restoring and maintaining the lighthouse. In 2005 the beacon has had a fixed Green light with a visibility of 11 miles. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Newport Harbor Lighthouse Nautical Chart Art Print with the Claiborne Bridge in the background 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.
