Point
Judith Lighthouse Narragansett, RI
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Point Judith is located on the west side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay and north side of the eastern entrance to Block Island Sound. This area is very busy with water traffic and the waters around Point Judith are very cold and dangerous. The present octagonal brownstone granite tower was erected in 1856 and the upper half of the tower is painted brown and the lower half is White. In 1871 ship captains asked for the Point Judith fog signal be changed from a horn to a whistle. The reason is to distinguish the Point Judith light from Beavertail which used a siren for fog. In 1917 the brick oil house was added, 1923 the fog signal building was added and the present Coast Guard building in 1937. In 2000 Point Judith light underwent a major restoration. Today Point Judith Coast Guard Station maintains the lighthouse along with their maritime duties.

William. B. MacGregor Jr. Watercolors Nautical Chart Artist
William B. MacGregor, Jr. was born in Medfield, MA, the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Many of his family members were self-taught artists, woodcarvers, automobile mechanics and veterans of foreign wars including his father a WW1 US Army veteran. Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, and Northeastern University. His engineering career, from which he is now retired, included working for military and aerospace companies in industrial engineering and IR optics. His painting incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting tools and he uses a mixed medium of watercolors, acrylics and inks. Two rabbits are often in quite a few of his paintings. Look for them. He is frequently commissioned by United States Naval officers to create paintings of their ships and aircraft carriers on nautical charts. In May,2018, and for one year, four of Bill’s automotive related paintings were on display at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, MA
