Having just been through there last week, I enjoyed this. Very old, almost a century old at this point, but worth watching for historical purposes. Today, it's mostly expensive seaside homes, highways, state liquor stores, fireworks shops, and motorcyclists not wearing helmets.
New Castle - the most desirable location in NH to live with the lowest property tax rate in the state. Yes, no sales tax, no income tax, and good living. Drive through the island on one of the most scenic byways in America! It's only a one-hour drive to Boston and top medical facilities, and only a one-hour drive to the mountains and lakes region. Live here, and you can walk to the town park and beach on the ocean, downtown Portsmouth for dining and shopping, and paddle in the back of Little Harbor. You can also walk to the highly desirable elementary school and two yacht clubs. The grand hotel, Wentworth-by-the-Sea, the marina, and the country club are on the south side of the one-square mile island. It's a small town loaded with history - Fort Constitution, Portsmouth Lighthouse, and Fort Stark. It sits across the Piscataqua River from the Portsmouth Shipyard where you can watch the ships and submarines sail out beyond the Isles of Shoals, just nine miles offshore. Had enough of California? "Come east," and consider coastal casual island life in New Castle.
Narrator says Huntley Spaulding was twice governor of New Hampshire. This is wrong. He only served one term. His brother, Rolland Spaulding served a single term as governor as well. Their service to the state were ten years apart.
@@richardperlman1036I’ll venture a guess: 1947-‘48. In any event, the video footage was a treat. Also, while there were some musical missteps, namely the folk songs, the non-vocal music was lovely.
Portsmouth born, watching a few hundred feet from where my ancestors were bringing in the dory near the fish houses.

Play up pompey
Hamfisted high volume soundtrack of generic nautical music really ruins the lovely images.
Anybody know what year this film was 1949 50 thereabouts please put it in the comments
Yes, sounded like Irish drinking songs, and did not fit the imagery. Color wasn't common in those days, and likely very pricey.
