OVERVIEW

Enjoy a scenic harbor cruise to nearby Rose Island to tour the restored lighthouse and view the remains of 200-year-old Fort Hamilton, now an important wildlife sanctuary. During the cruise through Narragansett Bay, the captain will share some of Newport’s 350-year history and how it became the “Yachting Capital of the World.” In time, you will arrive at Rose Island, an 18-acre site that first gained military importance in the Revolutionary War. Its fort was named for Alexander Hamilton and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You will also see the island’s iconic lighthouse that was built in 1870 to accommodate increased shipping traffic. Today, Rose Island is known more as a wildlife sanctuary, and by touring it with a naturalist you will have a greater appreciation for its flora and fauna.
