 Strawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #178
Can you name the ships that brought the first settlers to Portsmouth? No plaque notes that David Thomson’s group of fishermen arrived aboard the JONATHAN from Plymouth in 1623. No memorial marks the landings of the WARWICK and PIED COW at Strawberry Bank around 1630. Why not?
HISTORIC PHOTOS of the Greater Portsmouth Area appear here weekly
This imagined illustration comes from a tercentennial history of Portsmouth for children by Edith Gilman Brewster entitled Some Three Hundreds Years Ago, W.B. Ranney Company, Concord, NH, 1922
