NEVER KNEW OF GOODY
I lived in New Hampshire, Keene for 13 years. I never heard of the witch of Hampton before I read that article with interest, enjoyed pictures of Portsmouth and Srawberry Banke also.

PORTSMOUTH BUILT
I'm trying to get a copy of Portsmouth Built, by Richard
Winslow. Can you help me?
Dennisport, MA Reader
EDITOR'S REPLY: Dick's book is out of print, so you are at the whims of the used book stores. It is quite frequently on the shelf at the Book Guild and Portsmouth Book Shop. Better yet, you can buy his new book about the history of the Navy Yard called "Do Your Job" which was just released last month for the 200th anniversary of the shipyard. For info on local bookstores check SeacoastSearch.com.

TEACHING TOURISM, NOW THAT'S HISTORY!
Hello: I am a middle school teacher of history and writing. I am planning a unit on New Hampshire tourism in the 1920's and 1930's. Any ideas for resources? Thanks!
reardon61@mediaone.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: You certainly want to check out eBay where there are hundreds of NH items being sold daily. Our site has dozens of pictures of images and lots of discussion on the topic, but you'd have to poke around our 2,200 pages online. Start with EARLY IMAGES in the HISTORY section and look at the postcards. This is a great topic and your best bet locally is to call the Portsmouth Athenaeum and ask Ursula for a copy ($6) of the catalog from the recent (now closed) exhibit there on the history of tourism in Portsmouth. It will give you an excellent overview of what was going on in the area with souvenir sellers and manufacturers. You might check out WENTWORTH BY THE SEA section also in HISTORY which has a brochure of the hotel online from that era. Also contact Acadoa Publishing which puts out those great books on every town in NH. Much of the imagery is from that era in their books. They are in Dover, NH. And, of course, the NH Historical Society and the Tuck Library in Concord. You'll find that every town library and historical society has a wealth of images from that era. keep us posted.

I've been very pleased to discover your site about the Cocheco massacre of 1689. I'm an 8th generation descendant of John Otis.

STARK REALITY
I AM A DESCENDANT OF JOHN STARK. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYPLACE WE CAN VISIT THAT IS NAMED AFTER HIM OR HIS HOME?
MARY & FRANK SMALL
EDITOR'S REPLY: You should start with the Stark House in Manchester at 2000 Elm Street. The childhood home of NH's Revolutionary War here (and author of the phrase "live free or die" is owned by the Molly Stark Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is open by appointment only. There is a Molly Stark cannon in New Boston marked by a NH historic market on the common, at the intersection of River Road (Route 13) and Meetinghouse Hill Road. For Stark genealogy go to the Tuck Library in Concord, part of the NH Historical Society. And while you are there, look for the dandy statue of Stark in front of the NH state capitol dome.
(PS. Your CAPS LOCK button is stuck. Better get that thing looked at.)

Hi, I'm Vanesa and I'm from Argentina. I know it can sound crazy, but some time ago I dreamt that I had lived in New Hampshire, in the seventeenth century. I didn't know this place and now that it is real I can't believe it. So now i want to know all of this state!!!!

LOST HAMPTON HOTEL? READERS HELP…
Is there a hotel called the Nevada? in Hampton Beach? I saw it there last year...didn't I? It is an old, ''50's looking place right on the water.
tommypiano@aol.com
HAMPTON LIBRARY REPLIES: There is a Nevada Motel at York Beach in Maine, but the phone directory lists no Nevada Motel at Hampton Beach. There are also very few if any hotels or motels "right on the water" in Hampton. Most if not all have the road and/or a beach in between.

CAN'T FIND THEM TIDE CHARTS
Why can't I locate a tide calendar for Seacoast NH in your daily weather department? Maybe it's there but not obvious to me. It would be a great help to know current tides for many reasons. Please add it or indicate somewhere on weather page where the viewer can find it. I'd think it'd be part of any proper weather page especially near the Atlantic Ocean!!
B Tarbell of Portsmouth gen_stark@yahoo.com
WEATHERMAN KEN RESPONDS: Thanks for writing! Great question. I've considered your request for tide charts on the forecast page. The forecast area covers from Seabrook to Kennebunkport, and tides vary at different locations, not that much, but some -- so I don't like to pick out one spot for coverage. We do, therefore, have a long-standing link to a great site that allows you to choose the area you want your chart -- then gives a month-long list of tides and times which you can print out for handy reference. It's on the left of my forecast below "ski reports" an is called "Seacoast Tide Charts". It's an easy site to use. If you have trouble, let me know. :) Ken

OLD PORTDSMOUTH COMPANY STILL VITAL
I was surprised to see my company's old ad for 4th of July fireworks in your Foster's column two weeks ago! I understand that our founding father, G.B. Chadwick, did a variety of things at his machine shop (bicycle repair and electrical work were mainstays, I guess). By World War 1 the company specialized in manufacturing reamers, particularly an adjustable type invented by John Critchley of the Portsmouth Machine Co. in the late 1800's. To this day, that reamer is our "bread and butter" product.

TAKING SEACOAST WATER TEMP
How can I find the temperature of the water in your area?
Carolyn.McCormack@ey.com
WEATHERMAN KEN RESPONDS: This may sound facetious, but I'd buy a quick-read meat thermometer and take the reading yourself. More officially, there are two ocean buoys that give readings locally, one is at Boston, the other Portland. There is nothing for New Hampshire. What I do is report the Bosrton/Portland values daily. We must then interpolate the reading for our calves. So if Boston is at 63 and Portland 58, I figure we here are probably near 60. A few degrees won't really change the pain you feel initially. Again, keep in mind that a strong sea breeze can raise the surface water temp 5 to almost 10 degrees … so even if we start in the low 60s during the morning, we can be a good bit warmer by late afternoon, which is why that meat thermometer could help you determine just how much warmer it really is. Here are the two sites I use to get the buoy data. Amidst the pile of data you'll find the columns that has water (WTMP at
Boston) or sea temps.
Hope this helps! :) Ken

IRONSIDES AT SEA
There was no message or postmark on the back of this postcard,(Click to see Lance's postcard) just the name Sarah Smith written at the top. There is nothing on it to identify when or where it was taken. It apparently was never sent. Is this a new, previously unknown picture of the USS Constitution?
If you want it I will mail it to you.
Lance Hall
Fworth@Freewwweb.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: Keep that one for your collection. It appears to be
Ironsides during her last national tour in 1931-32. We're proud to note
that after languishing here for almost 20 years in the 19th century, the USS Constitution made her first port of call here in 1931 at the kickoff a trip that brought the ship into the hearts and ports of millions of Americans. The ship is now restored again and on permanent display in Charlestown, MA.

OH, TO MARRY IN HISTORIC NH
I have been searching the web for weeks trying to plan an early OCt 2001 NH seacoast wedding, and I think I like your site the best! My fiance, Steve, and I are very interested in the history of the area. We want to hold our reception in a historic structure of some kind. We are open to ideas, but the catch is that we live in Denver, Co and it is very difficult to find the right facility from 2000 miles away. Could you help us? A lighthouse, historic
estate, shipyard, art museum, history museum, or civic building would be great. We are looking for something unique (not a conference center, not a restaurant--unless it has some historic character-- and not a hotel). Sometimes owners/societies are open to the idea of wedding reception even if there has never been one there before. Our idea is to have an
elegant, understated type affair (about 100 guests) with a small celtic band or string quartet and candlelight tables--not a disco DJ drinking fest! It would probably need to have the option of an indoor or outdoor wedding because of the Fall weather--but we are even open to a Summer wedding if the right spot came along. If you or your staff have any
ideas, please contact us. We will be in the area later this month, and would enjoy talking with someone there. I will only have a few days to decide on a spot--so I am trying to do as much research as possible before I arrive. I have exhausted my web search at this point--and I am now trying to make a personal connection with citizens of the NH seacoast area--Help!! Feel Free to e-mail, write or phone. I signed up for the newsletter--look forward to receiving my first one!
Geneve P of Lakewood, CO
EDITOR'S REPLY: We've forwarded you letter to an organization that helps people plan events such as yours in the seacoast. You letter and others like it shows a need for web pages that deal with unique event planning in this area, and we're looking into providing some of that data. Our region is divided, as you may learn, into many areas with no overall seacoast-wide business services. Most of the historic houses are not set up for wedding functions, nor are most historic sites in the region, especially the ones owned by the state - due the need for insurance, traffic flow, bathrooms, liquor licenses, wear and tear on historic gardens and properties, all-weather areas, etc. Indeed, part of the charm of our area is that we have not turned into a Weddings R' Us center. So each couple is left to their own devices. The larger the party, the harder it gets to avoid a traditional conference center venue. Still, no reason why the task could not be made a little easier. We'll look into the possibility and hope to work with local companies to help create future resources. Thanks for the idea! Meanwhile, how about our awesome WEDDING guide on SeacoastSearch.com which has the largest list of photographers locally online?

wendelljenkins@webtv.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: One problem with having over 2,000 web pages online is that, while we remain stable, the rest of the Internet shifts. It's becoming a full time job just to keep our links updated as web sites drop dead and new ones are born. Other web sites seem to change URLs at the drop of a hat. And we have to remember that, just as Black History pages get heavy traffic in Feb. Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple and Matthew Thornton get a burst of traffic in July. We've updated the outside links and added them to the BOTTOM of both pages for Bartlett fans. There is a rich vein of info here that we only wish we had the time to mine. Thanks for the dead link report.

WEIRD LETTER OF THE WEEK AWARD
I just lied, but now that I have your attention, 'What is Seacoast, New Hampshire's historic claim to Hawai'i?' Before brave colonials climbed over the Appalachians into 'Indian Country,' sailors from New England were scheduling trips to Hawai'I (sic), a connection vital today as we plummet into the 21st Century (by common reckoning). Is your group coming to Hawai'i and in need of support for entertainment & corporate events? Is your budget north of $25,000? Aloha and continue to create smiles for those around you.

DE ROCHEMONT, ALL IN THE FAMILY
Dear Mr. Robinson: Thank you for such informative, well-written and researched tributes to Louis deRochemont! No, there is no biography written that I know of, but it appears you would be a grand choice to do just that! As a relative, I appreciate knowing that Louis de Rochemont is appreciated and respected today, as he should be by all in the industry and to historians and the public at large.
Mrs. Janice Doe Banks of Center Barnstead, NH jeannine@worldpath.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: We appreciate the kudos and accept the assignment if someone can cover us for a couple of years and find a publisher to pay the bills. It would be a super project - de Rochemont's maverick life is a one-man encyclopedia of American filmmaking in the 20th century.

I'm just a little slow ... but I would like to thank you for a prize I won about a year ago. I entered you're monthly sweeps and won a sculptured wolf worth about $350.

He also makes a nice conversation piece for visitors. Sorry for the delayed thanks

NATIONAL ARCHIVES DOES PORTSMOUTH, NH
Hello again from Tennessee! I wasn't sure if you were aware or not, but there are some excellent and apparently very early images of the Wentworth Hotel at the American Memory Collection website (click below).Upon entering the site, do a search for the Wentworth Hotel (that is how they have the photographs identified) and voila! There are many interesting plate images and the Edison films are a series about the
Russo-Japanese conference. I hope this will prove interesting for the other Wentworth friends out there!
Best wishes as always,
Joan Boadway badbadeel@peoplepc.com http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/amtitle.new.html
EDITOR'S REPLY: We've got upcoming Wentworth pictures to rival those of the Library of Congress, but that sure is a fascinating national archive. The moving images of the 1905 Treaty are downright spooky. Wonder if they are the oldest films every taken in this town. We've seen them on VHS, but interesting to know they are available to all on the web. Thanks!

SHIP COMING AND GOING
Hello - where can I find a listing of ships that come and go into Portsmouth harbor? My husband and I love to watch them go up and down the river.
CheryL of Hampton NH calassiter@aol.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: We asked John Wheeler of the Portsmouth Maritime Commission who said he knows of no regular listing of this nature in the media. The Port Authority, he suggested, probably knows but doesn't have the staff to answer this type of question on a regular basis. "I guess it's up to the print/electronic media to provide a routine listing from available sources.," Wheeler suggests. (Don't look at us!)
We called the NH Port Authority whose spokesperson said that at the end of the month they get a roster from the tug pilots, but there is no advance published list for the public. You can contact them for after-the-fact info. We also called the Moran tugs, a private company. They turn in the report to the Port Authority, but have no plans (and no computer system) that would make the info available in advance or in real time to the public. So the short answer is - nope.

LOCAL BIZ IS 108 YEARS YOUNG
I was amused by yesterday's history article in Foster's Sunday paper (online in AS I PLEASE: "Freedom, Fireworks & Little Kids"). The most interesting part for me was the 1908 advertisement for pistols and blank cartridges from Chadwick & Trefethen that you reproduced. Would you kindly inform me, if you can, about the date of the original ad. There certainly is a rich and varied history here in Portsmouth. My company has seen a great deal of it.
We were started in 1892 by my grandfather's uncle, G. B. Chadwick. We were located on Bow Street until 1964 when the Federal Building was built. We have been on Borthwick Ave. since then. Thank you for keeping our history alive
David A. Richards, President Chadwick & Trefethen, Inc. chadwick@nh.ultranet.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: The amazing little newspaper article and accompanying ad, discovered by historian Ellen Fineberg, appeared in the Portsmouth Herald on July 6, 1908. See a close-up or it and two others from the same issue by clicking below. The article and another fireworks image gallery are also linked. You can get the original on microfilm from the Portsmouth Public Library.

TRACING PORTSMOUTH HOUSE HISTORY
My daughter just moved to Portsmouth and she and her husband purchased an 1800's home on Union Street. What is the best source to find out the history of the home and families who
have lived there ?
Pam of Punta Gorda of Florida pjbosker@sunline.net
EDITOR'S REPLY: Great question! We've been working with a number of organizations to put together a guide on this very topic. The first step is get a copy of Richard Candee's book "Building Portsmouth". The second step is to visit the Portsmouth Athenaeum on a Tue, Thu or Sat and check through the large city maps, city directories and the house history vertical file, all of them in the main upstairs area near the window that looks out toward Market Square. (You could buy that book at the Athenaeum and help out there nonprofit agency.) You will also want to check information available on births and deaths at the Portsmouth Library in the history room (ask for Nicole). Strawbery Banke Museum also has info on local houses that is accessible to the public if you call ahead. And you may find added info at City Hall and at the Whaley Library at the Masonic Temple open on Wednesdays only. Tell them all you got the info via Tim and Dennis and SeacaostNH.com.

WANTS "WALK EAST"
I'd like to get a copy of the film for my grandfather for his 91st birthday.He was the capt in the coast guard. The guy at Atlantic Video in Portsmouth said you might know the status....if it's available, etc. I'd love to see the film, too - sounds like a cold war classic.
Keith R amskeith@cutplan.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: We have only the comic book and the film is currently not in release. Sorry. Our complete list of the Louis de Rochemont films available was published last week in our Seacoast Film section. Now, at last, you can see them all in one place. Many are still for sale. Of you're looking for a classic for your grandfather check last Sunday's PARADE magazine and see the offer for three Academy Award winning military documentaries from WW2. First on the list is FIGHTING LADY by de Rochemont which is available for just $5!! There are six other of his films you can order via Amazon.com by clicking on the images on our web page.

Act One's Summer Performance Theater at the Hampton Performing Arts Center at Winnacunnet High School. Call for more info at 603-926-3073. It looks like a great season including Ed Gerhardt Live, the play Spousal Deafness, Sylvia, a comedy called First Night and Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.

As soon as the book is available, we'll activate that BUY THE BOOK button and put it and a number of other pretty books in our revised Seacoast Store section now on the drawing table. It's about a month late now, and counting. In the meantime, we're going to get the heck out of Dodge for the Fourth of July. We've booked a room on a distant island. OK, it's not so distant.

EDITOR'S REPLY: No one knows. Our experience with the film Freak the Mighty has shown us that not even the author can tell when a film will appear or how well a studio will promote it. All sighs point to a fall release from the limited info we have. You can stay tuned as know what we know, but checking in to our new "pointer" web site at weight-of-water.com.

POSTACRDS FOR SALE, NOT HERE
Hi...really enjoyed your site..do you offer any of the postcards on your web site for sale? (if not, do you have any links to sites that do sell such postcards??).....thanks..
Thomas M tomatoma@sprintmail.com
EDITOR'S REPLY: We're not in the resell biz, but each time we post a postcard gallery, if possible, we list a link to the person who offered us the image. When it is us, we just donate them to a local archive like the Portsmouth Historical Society. It is our policy, when possible, to move items into public collections. Already a couple of readers have given us items that we, after writing about them online, will transfer to local archives. Collecting is not our gig, though it is fun to have the items in hand for a while. Our JPJ collection is building and we hope to turn that into an real life exhibit in the future. Those who want to buy stuff should hit those online auctions. And did you see the Fireworks postcards that just went up today?

ANOTHER BIBLIOFIND ADDICT
I saw your article, and an another Bibliofind addict. My situation is that I am preparing for Ph.D comps in history, and got fed up with chasing after books in the library, keeping them renewed, etc., I am fallible, and sometimes I wind up getting hit with ten or twenty dollars
worth of library fines (a fair cop, mind you). So I decided to see if there were any used bookstores on the net, mounted a systematic alta vista search, and found Bibliofind. This is a hard call, but what with fines and various costs of going in to various libraries (taxicabs,
meals eaten in relatively expensive places, etc.) Bibliofind books probably pay for themselves outright.

ICELANDER COMING IN SEPTEMBER
Enjoyed your review of our visiting ships - thanks for the help in publicizing. Doesn't look like Eye of the Wind is coming - their economic demands were a little steep and they voiced the opinion that their
