"This monument on Ocean Drive is dedicated to Portuguese maritime navigators.Situated within Brenton Point State Park on the southern tip of Aquidneck Island with expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean. Designed by Charters de Almeida and carved in Portugal, sixteen sandstone bollards ranging in height from five to eight feet were organized into a semicircle mimicking the historic pebble compass rose at Sagres Point. The Portuguese Discovery Monument has symbolized the exploring spirit of the Portuguese people and of the country many of them called home as immigrants to America."
