	Isles of Shoals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Isles of Shoals are a group of nine small islands situated approximately 16 km (10 miles) off the east coast of the USA, straddling the border of the states of New Hampshire and Maine.
		Though a small population remained, the Isles were largely abandoned until the middle of the 19th century, when Thomas and Oscar Leighton opened a popular summer hotel on Appledore Island, and their sister, the poet Celia Thaxter, hosted an arts community frequented by such luminaries as author Nathaniel Hawthorne and the Impressionist painter, Childe Hassam.
		Appledore Island, in Maine, is the largest of the Isles of Shoals, at 95 acres.
