While about every Rhode Island harbor has some claim to nautical fame, few can match East Greenwich, which officially (and legitimately) claims to be the birthplace of the American Navy in 1775. Today, the village is seemingly a living museum of early American history (with at least a dozen national historic sites) and a family-friendly place with good dockage, good eating, and great nearby beaches.

Anchorages & Dockage

Approaches
Greenwich Cove, in the southwest end of Greenwich Bay, is about 1.3 miles long and 300 to 600 yards wide. Buoys mark the entrance channel into the cove. State regulatory buoys at the entrance mark a "Slow no wake" zone. On the western shore is the town of East Greenwich. Depths of about 7 to 11 feet are available in the cove to about 0.5 mile from the head.

From Sandy Point, the eastern extremity of Potowomut Neck, shoals with depths of 2 to 9 feet extend northeasterly for about 0.6 mile. Extensive shoals extend off the eastern side of Warwick Neck to Ohio Ledge. Rocky Point is on the eastern side of the neck, 1.7 miles north-northeastward of Warwick Point.

The natural channel between the shoals off Warwick Neck and the shoals northward of Patience and Prudence Islands has depths of 19 to 50 feet. A buoy marks the shoal off Providence Point, the northernmost point of Prudence Island.

Anchorages
Good anchorage may be had off some of the small-craft facilities on the west side of the cove in depths of 8 to 11 feet. The harbormaster in the cove controls anchoring and berthing; contact can be made through the Warwick City Hall.

Small-craft Facilities
The cove has several boatyards. Berths, electricity, gasoline, water, diesel fuel, ice, marine supplies, wet and dry storage, launching ramps, lifts to 21 tons, and complete engine and hull repairs are available.

Tides
The mean range of tide is 4.0 feet.
