Bristol Ferry Light with the base of the Mount Hope Bridge on left
Bristol Ferry Light in Bristol, Rhode Island, USA, is a lighthouse station on Narragansett Bay at the base of the Mount Hope Bridge.
The brick lighthouse was built in 1855, and its use was discontinued in 1927 with the construction of the Mount Hope Bridge. Prior to the construction of the bridge, a ferry operated between Bristol and Aquidneck Island, and the light assisted the ferry service. The Bristol Ferry Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
