Ralph Morang III These Portsmouth, NH area pictures are historic for us. Ralph offered them as our first gallery when SeacoastNH.com opened in the mid-1990s. Back then, digitizing photographs was a tricky and costly process. In his career Ralph has gathered tens of thousands of New Hampshire images of extraordinary quality.

A Seacoast native, Ralph says he learned to swim in the frigid waters of Rye Harbor. He has owned three small sailboats and tours the coast almost daily via bike, jeep or motorcycle.

After attending UNH nearby, Ralph was, for a time, staff photographer for the Hampton Union. His book of black and white photographs from that era is titled "Faces of Hampton." Ralph is a founding member of the Rye Historical Society. Today his rich images appear in just about every state and local guide to the Seacoast region. --- JDR
