As a Rhode Islander, I love this! I've always been interested in the similarities between the Block Island Palatine Light and the Ocracoke Flaming Ship (mentioned in Lore Episode 28). They are effectively the same story, though the RI legend seems to have much more evidence of an actual shipwreck. Since hearing Episode 28, I always wondered what you thought of the connection.
