Description
Congress approved $20,000 of funding in 1882 to build a lighthouse on Little Cormorant Rock at the entrance to the Sakonnet River, 800 yards off Rhode Island's Sakonnet Point. The construction began in early 1883, with a break at the end of the year due to the harsh winter weather. Work resumed in the spring, and the beacon was lighted on November 1, 1884.
