Más información:
The Isles of Shoals are a group of nine small islands situated approximately 16 km (10 miles) off the east coast of the USA, straddling the border of the states of New Hampshire and Maine. First settled by Europeans in the early 1600s, they were an important fishing area for the young British and French colonies. The Town of Gosport was incorporated on the New Hampshire side of the border, centered on Star Island in 1724. The community was fairly prosperous up until about 1778, when the Islanders were evacuated to Rye, New Hampshire due to the Revolutionary War. Though a small population remained, the Isles were largely abandoned until the middle of the 19th century, when Thomas and Oscar Leighton opened a popular summer hotel on Appledore Island, and their sister, the poet Celia Thaxter, hosted an arts community frequented by such luminaries as author Nathaniel Hawthorne and the Impressionist painter, Childe Hassam.
