Fram till 1970-talet var Newport hemmahamn för flera jagare, innan dessa flyttade till Naval Station Norfolk i Virginia. Verksamhet Newport är numera primärt säte för flera utbildningsinstitutioner inom flottan som Naval War College, Senior Enlisted Academy, Naval Justice School, Navy Supply Corps School, Naval Undersea Warfare Center samt för flottans enda Officer Candidate School (OCS).

Naval War College Museum

The Naval War College Museum in Newport, Rhode Island, is one of 10 official American museums operated by the United States Navy, under the direction of the Naval History & Heritage Command and in co-operation with the Naval War College. It is located at Building 10, Luce Avenue, Naval Station Newport, in the building which first housed the Naval War College, a structure built in the early 19th century to house Newport's poor. It is a contributing element to a National Historic Landmark District, along with Luce Hall, the college's first purpose-built building. History The Naval War College established the Naval Museum in 1952, with the approval of the Chief of Naval Operations to manage its collections of historical artifacts. It has occupied its present quarters on Coasters Harbor Island in Narragansett Bay since 1978. This building is now called Founders Hall and was built in 1819 as the Newport Poor Asylum. The city of Newport and the state of Rhode Island donated the property to the Navy for use as the Naval War College. College president Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce formally dedicated the building to the Navy's use. It became famous between 1886 and 1889, when college president Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan gave lectures there which formed the basis for his famous book The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660–1783 (1890). Founders Hall and Luce Hall were designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1964, and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Museum Today, the Naval War College Museum uses this building to display exhibits on the history of the Naval War College since 1884, the history of naval activities in the Narragansett Bay area since the colonial period, and the history of the art and science of naval warfare since ancient times.

New England Wireless and Steam Museum

The New England Wireless and Steam Museum is an electrical and mechanical engineering museum at 1300 Frenchtown Road in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, with working steam engines and an early wireless station and technology archives. The museum was founded in 1964 under the leadership of Robert Merriam. According to the museum's website, the New England Wireless and Steam Museum contains five buildings: One museum building contains the wireless collection. The Massie Wireless Station, (PJ), was "built in 1907. It is the oldest surviving working wireless station in the world. It was moved to this site from Point Judith, Rhode Island, in 1982 to avoid demolition." Another museum building contains "the stationary steam engine collection. This collection includes the only surviving George H. Corliss engine running under steam today." The Mayes building houses the Mechanical Engineering library of historic engineering textbooks and the collection of steam engine models. A meeting house built in 1822 is used as the assembly hall for the museum. In 1972, the nearby Frenchtown Baptist Church in East Greenwich was going to demolish its building, so it was moved to this site to save the building. The meeting house is part of the Tillinghast Road Historic District and is available to rent for weddings and other events. The Museum is situated within the Tillinghast Road Historic District. It was designated an engineering history Landmark in 1992 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In 2001 the Massie Wireless Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places. As of August 2022, the president of the NEWSM board of directors is Randy Snow. References External links Official website See also List of museums in Rhode Island

Ochre Court

Ochre Court is a large châteauesque mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. Commissioned by Ogden Goelet, it was built at a cost of $4.5 million in 1892. It is the second largest mansion in Newport after nearby The Breakers. These two mansions, along with Belcourt Castle (the 3rd largest mansion) and Marble House, were designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt. It is owned by Salve Regina University. History The Goelet family was an American dynasty that had grown from humble 18th century trade into vast 19th century investments. Ogden Goelet was a banker, real estate investor and competitive yachtsman. His wife, Mary Wilson Goelet, oversaw the operation of Ochre Court during a typical eight-week summer season. This usually required twenty-seven house servants, eight coachmen and grooms and twelve gardeners. Richard Morris Hunt designed Ochre Court, modelling the mansion on the chateaux of France's Loire Valley. The design is in the Louis XIII-style of architecture, with high roofs, turrets, tall chimneys and elaborate dormers. Elaborate decoration is seen inside and out in classical-style ceiling paintings, heraldry, carved emblems and statues, and a profusion of stained glass. The Goelets' daughter, May, married Henry Innes-Ker, 8th Duke of Roxburghe, taking with her an $8 million dowry. Their son, Robert Goelet IV, was a businessman with an interest in American railroads, hotels and real estate. Robert gave Ochre Court to the Sisters of Mercy in 1947. In popular culture The exterior of this mansion was used for the movie True Lies to depict the Swiss mansion that Arnold Schwarzenegger infiltrates then escapes in the opening sequence. In the video game Payday 2, the architecture of Shacklethorne Mansion, a fictional mansion which is the location of the Shacklethorne Auction heist in the game, was inspired by the back side of Ochre Court. Shacklethorne Auction does not take place in Newport, but in Salem, Massachusetts. The exterior and interior of the mansion was used as a filming location for The Gilded Age season 3. Ochre Court was the fictional Sidmouth Castle. Gallery See also List of Gilded Age mansions References Further reading Bernier, Maria. "Guide to the Goelet Family Papers."

Ochre Court

Ochre Court è una vasta residenza in stile châteauesque situata a Newport, Rhode Island, Stati Uniti. Commissionata da Ogden Goelet, fu costruita nel 1892 con un costo di 4,5 milioni di dollari. È la seconda dimora più grande di Newport dopo la vicina The Breakers. Queste due residenze, insieme a Belcourt Castle (la terza per dimensioni) e Marble House, furono progettate dall’architetto Richard Morris Hunt. Attualmente appartiene alla Salve Regina University. Storia La famiglia Goelet fu una dinastia americana cresciuta da umili attività commerciali del XVIII secolo fino a trasformarsi in un impero di investimenti nel XIX secolo. Ogden Goelet fu banchiere, investitore immobiliare e appassionato velista competitivo. Sua moglie, Mary Wilson Goelet, gestiva le attività di Ochre Court durante la consueta stagione estiva di otto settimane. Tale organizzazione richiedeva generalmente ventisette domestici, otto cocchieri e stallieri, e dodici giardinieri. Richard Morris Hunt progettò Ochre Court, ispirandosi ai castelli della Valle della Loira in Francia. L’edificio è realizzato nello stile architettonico Luigi XIII, caratterizzato da tetti alti, torrette, comignoli imponenti e abbaini elaborati. La decorazione sontuosa è visibile dentro e fuori, con affreschi classici sui soffitti, stemmi araldici, emblemi scolpiti, statue e una profusione di vetrate colorate. La figlia dei Goelet, May, sposò Henry Innes-Ker, VIII duca di Roxburghe, portando con sé una dote di 8 milioni di dollari. Il loro figlio, Robert Goelet IV, fu un uomo d’affari con interessi nelle ferrovie americane, negli hotel e nel settore immobiliare. Robert donò Ochre Court alle Suore della misericordia nel 1947. Nella cultura popolare La facciata esterna di questa residenza è stata utilizzata nel film True Lies per rappresentare la villa svizzera in cui Arnold Schwarzenegger penetra e da cui poi fugge nella sequenza iniziale. Nel videogioco Payday 2, l’architettura della Shacklethorne Mansion, una residenza fittizia che ospita il colpo della Shacklethorne Auction, è ispirata al retro di Ochre Court. L’asta Shacklethorne non si svolge a Newport, ma a Salem, Massachusetts. L'esterno e l'interno della villa sono stati utilizzati come location per le riprese della terza stagione della serie The Gilded Age. Ochre Court ha rappresentato il castello immaginario di Sidmouth.
