Pomham Rocks Lighthouse Announces 2023 Christmas Ornament

Just in time for the holiday season, Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse announces a new ornament. The 2023 ornament features a colorful photo of the southeast view of Riverside’s historic lighthouse. The 3” diameter white satin glass ball is displayed in a decorative protective white box which is perfect for gift-giving or storage.

The limited-edition Fresnel lens ornament, which was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the lighthouse, is also available. The 3.25” x 2” ornament is made of silver rhodium, has a red ribbon hanger and is displayed in a silver gift box. It was specially designed for Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse by Beacon Design, a division of ChemArt, located in Lincoln, RI. It also sells for $20 and includes a card relating the history of the iconic antique lens.

Buy one for yourself and for friends and family who have moved away. Both ornaments can be ordered by calling 401-742-2751 or emailing lighthouse1871@cox.net.  Requests from local residents will be delivered. Both ornaments will be available at Pomham Santa at Sabin Point Park, 130 Shore Road, Riverside, on November 18 at 10:30 a.m.

Built in 1871, Pomham Rocks Lighthouse is the last surviving lighthouse in upper Narragansett Bay. It still serves as an aid to navigation and is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Proceeds from the sale of the ornaments will be used to maintain the lighthouse.
