Isles of Shoals | Windows to the Wild

Just an hour boat ride off the New Hampshire seacoast lies an archipelago of nine, small rocky islands that is one of the most beautiful and unique places in the world. Windows to the Wild introduces you to a group of hearty scientists and students dedicated to preserving and studying these Isles of Shoals.

I could see these islands from my backyard on Salisbury beach on a clear day

When I used to take my 18 foot boat out to the Shoals in 1980 to 1990 it was to go flounder fishing and that was it. Either the owners or caretakers would not let you land on any of the islands.The Unitarian Church would not let me tie up to their dock after my prop got jammed in one of their moorings that was in the CG approved channel.🎉It would appear friendlier folks now inhabit the islands . Does that mean less gull poop,which was the most prominent feature in the 1980s , to a nature loving community that allow responsible people access to these New England treasures?

Was looking out at this today and chatting with a nice gentleman about his many trips to the islands. I've yet to go, but will be doing so soon.

Take the narrative with a bit of salt. Star is not 150 acres for instance. Appledore is largest island, at about 94 acres. But good overview. The Isles are magical.

Too bad this video erases millennia of Native American settlement of these islands. According to Shoals Marine Laboratory, Smuttynose spear points have been dated to 6,000 years ago. Nor were English fishermen the only non-native "settlers," as Basque and Irish fishing communities were there from the early 17th century.
