Southeast Lighthouse, Block Island (RI) Mechanical Animated Tide Clock
Everything Nautical is proud to present the Southeast Lighthouse, Block Island (RI) Animated Tide Clock. This stunning clock tracks the tide in true nautical fashion. While the dial counts away the hours between tide cycles below, the top is mechanically animated to show the changing sea level in real time. At high tide the water will sit just slightly below the top of the bluff, and slowly lower to reveal the sandy beach and bluff face below before beginning to rise again.
The Block Island Southeast Lighthouse in Rhode Island is the highest lighthouse in New England. It was built due to the number of shipwrecks that occurred against the bluffs and has since saved countless lives. It was originally built 300 feet from the edge of the bluff, but by the 1980s there was only 80 feet left and the destruction of the lighthouse seemed imminent. Through 10 years of hard work and campaigning the Block Island Historical Society was able to rescue the lighthouse and have it moved further from the bluffs edge. It was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1997 as one of the most architecturally sophisticated lighthouses built in the United States in the 19th century and has since gone through numerous renovations, leaving it one of the most stunning lighthouses to see in the area.
A fun and whimsical addition to any room, this tide clock is hand-crafted right in New England. It works to track the tide anywhere that has two high and low tides per day and will run all year on a single AA battery. Choose from 3 different wooden frame colors (Navy, Black, and Gray), or upgrade to our Deluxe Mahogany Frame for added quality and class.
