The bridges that form the two entrances to Jamestown –– the Jamestown-Verrazzano Bridge, heading from North Kingstown to the island in the foreground, and the Pell Bridge, leading to Newport near top right –– are the framework of this aerial photograph shot Sept. 11.
The stub of the old Jamestown Bridge, mostly demolished but not yet completely destroyed, juts into the water at bottom right. The Plum Beach Lighthouse sits to the left of the bridge in Narragansett Bay’s West Passage.
Between the larger islands, the island at top left, in the Bay’s East Passage, is Gould Island, a onetime Navy torpedo base. At top right, to the right of the Pell Bridge, is Rose Island, which houses a lighthouse you can pay to stay in.
The photos in this series are shot from a 2½-pound radio-controlled airplane mounted with a camera, and operated by Nate Bousquet of Don Bousquet and Son Aerial Photography.
