Newport and Middletown stand at the heart of this maritime survey, showcasing a landscape defined by coastal fortifications and established summer colonies in the late nineteenth century. The strategic military presence is anchored by Fort Adams and Fort Walcott, while the waters of Narragansett Bay are navigated via a network of signals including Beaver Tail Light, Lime Rock Light, and the offshore Brentons Reef Light Ship.
