The Isles of Shoals are a group of small islands and ledges in the Gulf of Maine six miles off the New Hampshire coastline. A busy fishing area in the past, today this is a popular tourist destination. The Isles of Shoals Steamship Company operates the Thomas Laighton cruise boat, which brings visitors to Star Island. This quaint cottage is one of several marvelous stone buildings clustered on the island. The steeple of Gosport Chapel, a simple meetinghouse built on the highest point of land on the island, can be seen in the background.
