Looking for info on Isles of Sholes Wrecks

Legends abound and Shoals lore is full of fascinating stories. There is evidence that at least one pirate may have buried treasure on the Isles. A number of ships have certainly been wrecked on the Isles. The best references for this information come from Celia's book "Among the Isles of Shoals"; Lyman Ruttledge's "The Isles of Shoals in Lore and Legend" and his guide "Ten Miles Out." You'll find the graves of many Shoalers on the islands -- Celia and her family on Appledore, The Haleys and the Spanish Prisoners on Smuttynose, the Beebe Family, Rev. Tuck, Caswells and many others on Star. There are legends of pirates Blackbeard and Phillip Babb among others. The bodies of the two murdered girls from Smuttynose are on the South Cemetery in Portsmouth on the mainland. TOP
