Watch Hill Lighthouse
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Richard Fricke was a lighthouse keeper for 27 years at stations including Point Judith, Latimer Reef, and Watch Hill. Richard and his stepson, Fred Buckley, received a citation from the United States government for the rescue of a canoeist who had capsized in the water nearby.</p>
<p>Remarked Fred;</p>
<p><em>"The keeper's job wasn't just maintaining the lighthouse. We kept an eye on everything. When people were in trouble we went out and helped them - it was like a law. There were no big headlines, we just went and did it."</em></p>

Warwick Neck Lighthouse
Description
An account of the resource
<p>May Chrietzbert was born in the Warwick Neck lighthouse in 1913, shortly after her father, Jorgen Bakken, became keeper. She and her sister, now Madeline Wright, grew up near the old lighthouse. In 1932, erosion threatened to undermine the building. It was tom down and replaced by a metal cylinder light.</p>
<p><em>It was heartbreaking to have the old lighthouse go. Its walls were 22 inches thick at the base, yet it was hardly 30 feet tall. From its commanding position overlooking the bay, it was one of the most familiar landmarks along the shore. Inside and out it was an immaculate white, having been kept that way even up to its last hours. The lens—it was beautiful, like diamonds! — was transferred to the new tower in one day. The light continued its operation that night as it had for 106 years.</em></p>
<p>Joseph Bakken and Family. ca 1915. baby May is on her mother's knee, and Madeline is standing.</p>

Vent Ball with Spire
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This cast iron vent ball is typical of the standard vent balls used on Lighthouses. The purpose of the vent ball was to allow circulation of air up through the light tower through the lantern room and out through the bottom of the vent ball. A series of small holes covered with wire mesh allowed warm air to exit the lighthouse through the bottom of the vent ball. The circulation of air through the light tower was instrumental In keeping the tower dry and free of moisture. When kerosene or oil lamps were used the ventilation allowed fumes from the lamps to safely exit the lantern room. The spike at the top of the vent ball served as a lightning ground rod for the light tower.</p>
<p>This vent ball was removed from Hudson City Light, New York in 1992 and replaced with a new cast iron vent ball. The interior of the vent ball and housing had begun to deteriorate requiring its replacement.</p>
<p>Hudson City Light was built in 1874 and it is believed that this is the original vent ball. The lighthouse marks the entrance to Hudson City and Athens, New York on the East bank of the Hudson River.</p>

Tower Spiral Staircase Support Bracket
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This is one of the 49 cast iron tread support brackets installed in 1856 when the present tower was built. Over 150 years the stresses of settlement have caused a few of the weldments to snap.<br /><br />Modem engineers have determined that the tread supports were overdesigned and the present stair treads are adequately and safely supported by the center iron column with the stair tread ends inserted into the granite blocks making these supports unnecessary.<br /><br /></p>

Tower Electrical/Battery Room
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This room between the Light Tower and the Lighthouse Keeper’s House was constructed in the late 1800s. It contained tools and equipment to service the oil lantern and lenses in the tower. It also served as an office for the Keeper.</p>
<p>In 1931 electricity was used for lamp illumination and switchgear was installed on the walls. In 1971 the Light station was "automated" and extensive monitoring and control equipment for both the light and fog signal was installed in this room.</p>
<p>Both the light and fog signal have redundant systems assuring continuous operation and providing time for the repair crews to arrive on-site and repair failed components.</p>
<p>An additional backup light located on a pole on top of the tower is energized by the battery bank located behind the enclosure.</p>
<p>The U.S. Coast Guard "Aids to Navigation Team" in Bristol. RI is responsible for maintenance and periodic inspection of the light and fog signal equipment.</p>

The Keeper's Wife Exhibit
Description
An account of the resource
A Keeper's Wife not only took care of the family needs, she tended the gardens and livestock, cooked for the various working men and visitors, nursed the occasional survivors of shipwrecks and scrubbed the quarters clean at all times for surprise inspections.<br />She also expected t help the Keeper polish the brass, keep the lens clear of soot, as well as fulfilling her husband's Keeper duties when he was unable to perform or had passed. Containers of oil from the oi house needed to be arried up a 49 step circular staircase and 2 ladders to the top of the tower daily, the lantern wicks had to be adjusted and trimmed and the fog signal apparatus regularly maintained.<br /><br />The Lighthouse was an important part of the Jamestown community drawing people when there was a storm or an emergency. Because of so many visitors, life was not lonely, orten quite hectic.<br />Being a Keeper's Wife posed many challenges in a harsh but beautiful environment.
