Lake Winnipesaukee has a long and well-deserved history as one of the most scenic and popular resort lakes in New England. Within this, the second volume of Boats and Ports of Lake Winnipesaukee, you can observe the lake's beauty and enjoy the continued history of the people, boats, and port towns which hug its shore. Lake Winnipesaukee has long drawn visitors to the area, offering a beautiful landscape and an abundance of natural treasures. Boats and Ports of Lake Winnipesaukee Volume II thematically represents the history of the lake's appeal, its surrounding mountain ranges, its harvest of boats, and its varied island and port towns. As you linger through the pages within, you will witness the evolution of the water crafts that have graced the lake's surface, from passenger steamboats to racing speedboats. Boats have been an integral part of the region's economy dating back to the early settlement of the area, providing transportation for work and leisure; even today, the continuing romance of boating attracts many travelers to the lake, occasionally enticing some to stay indefinitely.
