Local Legends

Gosport, Star Island (Isles of Shoals)

Rye, NH

Gosport's stone traces cap Star Island in the Isles of Shoals off New Hampshire — a fishing village of centuries, now a summer conference colony. The Shoals' dense telling — Blackbeard's bride, wrecked sailors, old Gosport's figures — swirls its bare rocks.
