Gaspee
(Sabin's) Point Lighthouse that once stood in the Providence
River
(Narragansett Bay), Rhode Island. It was located about a quarter
of a
mile offshore and stood on the east side of the River marking a sharp
turn in the river's channel. It was burned and removed in 1968 to
make
way for the widening and deepening of the Providence River
channel.
