  • The Point Judith Light is located on the west side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island as well as the north side of the eastern entrance to Block Island Sound. The confluence of two waterways make this area busy with water traffic and the waters around Point Judith are very cold and dangerous. Historically, even with active lighthouses, there have been many shipwrecks off these coasts. Three light structures have been built on this site. The original 35-foot (11 m) tower, built in 1810, was destroyed by a hurricane in 1815. It was replaced in 1816, by another 35-foot stone tower with a revolving light and ten lamps. The present octagonal granite tower was built in 1856. The upper half of the tower is painted brown and the lower half white to make the light structure a more effective daymark for maritime traffic. In 1871, ship captains asked that Point Judith's fog signal be changed from a horn to whistle. This change distinguished the Point Judith light from the Beavertail Lighthouse, which used a siren to announce fog. A whistle could also be heard more distinctly over the sounds of the surf in the area. Point Judith Light was automated in 1954, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

  • Маяк Пойнт-Джудит (англ. Point Judith Light) — маяк, расположенный на мысе Пойнт-Джудит на западном входе в залив Наррагансетт, округ Вашингтон, штат Род-Айленд, США. Построен в 1810 году. Автоматизирован в 1954 году. (ru)
  • O Farol de Point Judith está localizado no lado oeste da entrada de Baía de Narragansett, Rhode Island, bem como no lado norte da entrada leste de Block Island Sound. A confluência de dois cursos de água torna esta área movimentada com o tráfego de água e as águas ao redor de Point Judith são muito frias e perigosas. Historicamente, mesmo com faróis ativos, houve muitos naufrágios ao largo dessas costas. Três estruturas leves foram construídas neste local. A torre original de 11 m (35 ft), foi construída em 1810, foi destruída por um furacão em 1815. Depois foi substituída em 1816, por outra torre de pedra de 11 m (35 ft) com uma luz giratória e dez lâmpadas. A atual torre de granito octogonal foi construída em 1856. A metade superior da torre é pintada de castanho e a metade inferior de branco para tornar a estrutura leve e um marco diurno mais eficaz para o tráfego marítimo. Em 1871, capitães de navios pediram que o sinal de neblina de Point Judith fosse alterado de uma buzina para apito. Essa mudança distinguiu a luz Point Judith do Farol Beavertail, que usava uma sirene para anunciar neblina. Um apito também podia ser ouvido mais distintamente sobre os sons das ondas na área. O farol de Point Judith Light foi automatizado em 1954 e foi listado no Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos em 1988. (pt)
