Gosport Church on Star Island The town of Gosport was established in 1715 on Star Island, one of the islands which make up the Isles of Shoals off the New Hampshire coast. It was incorporated as part of Rye, New Hampshire. This church which stands on the highest point of the island was built in 1800 as a meetinghouse for settlers and is still in use today as part of programs run by the Unitarian/Universalist Church which currently owns Star Island. |

M.V. Thomas Laighton The M.V. Thomas Laighton, operated by the Isles of Shoals Steamship Company has been providing passenger service from Portsmouth, NH to Star island at the Isles of Shoals off the New Hampshire coast since 1987. She is named after a man who settled at Isles of Shoals in 1839 and who served as the lighthouse keeper on White Island for 20 years. Laighton was an important figure in the development of Isles of Shoals as a resort area in the 1800s. In 1847 he moved to Appledore Island and built a resort hotel there called Appledore House. |
