Show notes:
Just six miles off New Hampshire’s coast, the Isles of Shoals emerge from the sea—a world apart, shaped by nature, time, and human hands. With a history as rugged and remarkable as the rocky shoreline at your feet, these islands have left a surprisingly global mark.
In this episode, local historian and storyteller Ann Beattie helps us imagine what these isolated New England isles may have looked like through the years. How has time transformed the Isles of Shoals? And what lessons from the past still ripple through today?
Beyond ghost stories and pirate legends, the Isles offer insights into the evolution of fishing, the history of cod, and development of coastal economies—topics still vital to our region today.
Curious to see it for yourself? You can visit Appledore Island this summer on a public boat tour with the UNH Marine Docents.
