Description
Point Judith extends out over a mile into the Atlantic Ocean and has plagued mariners since the first European ships visited the area. Heavy seas and dense fog, which frequent the point, and nearby dangerous shoals such as Squid Ledge have led to the area being one of a number of sites known to sailors as a “Graveyard of the Atlantic.” The name of the point, which forms the western side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay, is most likely derived from the Tribe of Judah in the Bible, as towns named Jerusalem and Galilee are located nearby.
