Star Island ca 1891

Pictured above is Star Island from a folder titled “Isle of Shoals.” It is one of ten islands that make up the Isles of Shoals. These islands were once used for seasonal fishing camps by indigenous Americans, but were settled by Europeans in the early 1600s. Star Island now acts as a religious and educational conference center. See the image at the source here.
