Episode Details

Rhode Island’s historic lighthouses are vanishing under the tide—Beavertail, the nation’s third oldest, now has its access road shut down as erosion gnaws at its foundation. With repair costs in the millions, landmarks like Block Island’s Southeast Lighthouse have already been relocated inland, and others, like Plum Beach, are selling custom plates just to survive. Once Coast Guard auctioned assets, new owners soon realized upkeep is a financial nightmare. These aren’t just old towers—they’re symbols of Rhode Island’s maritime soul. Without urgent support, they’ll crumble into the sea. Help them stand tall: Beavertail’s ‘Evening Under the Stars’ gala on August 9th is your chance to save history from the waves.
