Description
Portsmouth and Isles of Shoals', 1874. Views of the coast on the Atlantic Ocean: Whale Back (Whaleback) Light, Appledore Island, Church on Star Island, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA. 'The chief natural attraction in the vicinity of Portsmouth is the Isles of Shoals, a group of eight bare and rugged islands, lying about nine miles off the coast, communicated with by a comfortable little steamboat...The isles are small in extent, the largest - Appledore - only containing about three hundred and fifty acres. As the steamboat approaches, they separate into distinct elevations of rock, all having a bleak and barren aspect, with little vegetation, and having jagged reefs running far out in all directions among the waves. Appledore, the principal island...rises in the shape of a hog's back'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American . Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]. Artist John Douglas Woodward. (Photo by The Print Collector/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
