Watch Hill Lighthouse Mechanical Animated Tide Clock
Everything Nautical is proud to present the Watch Hill Lighthouse 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 at the bottom edge of the grassy coast, and slowly lower to reveal the rocky shore below before beginning to rise again.
First built in 1745, this historical lighthouse located in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, originally served as a watchtower and beacon during the French and Indian War as well as the Revolutionary War. It was destroyed in 1781 by a storm and rebuilt in 1807 under the order of President Thomas Jefferson. At that time it stood 35 feet tall. Unfortunately, due to coastal erosion, it had to be moved further from the bluffs edge in 1855. When it reopened in 1856 it stood 45 tall. A number of ships have run aground near this famous lighthouse causing numerous deaths, and hurricanes have caused a lot damage over the years, but this historic building still stands today, fully automated as of 1986, and open to visitors.
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.
